Die neue Ordnung auf dem alten Kontinent has been selected as the #1 non-fiction book on the Non-Fiction Best Book List (Sachbuch Bestenliste) in December 2014.

The jury states that: »In his history of neoliberal Europe Ther shows vividly and astonishingly readable that the transformation of Eastern European countries had a delayed, but drastic and challenging, impact on Western European Contries as well […]. The crises in Europe is more serious then we would like to believe and are able to comprehend. Ther illustrates where cause and effect can be found.«

The Non-Fiction Best Book List is selected by an independent jury and published by Süddeutsche Zeitung and Norddeutscher Rundfunk.

We are also delighted to announce that the English world rights for The New Order on the Old Continent have recently been sold to Princeton University Press.
