It all started in Italy, a few hundred year ago. It's called the Renaissance, it was also the first stirrings of capitalism, and what made it stir was the first stirrings of the global economy.
What we have now are the problems of success, everything from climate change to IP rights, to disputes over taxation to problems arising from the international nature of the internet.
What we need is a set of rules for everybody (that wants to be in this global EU), a body to legislate, and another to adjudicate disputes and noncompliance.
It would beat the crap out of having another World War...
After WW2, Ike, Truman, and nearly everybody, wanted to avoid WW3 by tying the world together though business and diplomacy. It worked reasonably well.
But you can see the world they painstakingly built crumbling in front of your eyes.
All the reasons they built that world still exist. We need to build on that legacy, and there is really only one way to do that.
