BRITISH WITHDRAWAL FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION: A GUIDE TO THE CASE FOR

On 23 June 2016, the British people voted in a referendum for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union. The country finally left the bloc on January 31, 2020. This book surveys the economic and political case for the withdrawal. 

Major general arguments were:

(1) the economic costs of European Union membership substantially exceeded the benefits, and

(2) withdrawal was necessary to restore democracy, business and market freedom, the rule of law, and other basic features of a modern liberal social order.
