Abstract
The article argues that class is crucial for the understanding of European integration. Rivalry between member states presupposes their common interest in containing the European working class(es) and EMU renders the relationship of dependency and rivalry between member states more intense. The importance of class is well understood by liberal intellectuals and especially Hayek's view on ‘inter-state federalism’ is assessed.Keywords
