<br/><br/> "The European Union wasn't meant to heal the sick; it was designed to create wealth. Founded in 1951 as a trade alliance, the EU has grown cautiously...achieving unprecedented levels of prosperity....Even so, the prospect of adding 10 new countries, 74 million people, and 280,000 square miles to the EU all at once strikes some current members as a reckless gamble." (NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC) This article examines the implications of adding ten new member countries to the European Union.
