Why do we hold the political views that we do? We often dwell on the self- interest of opponents, yet seldom reflect on our own.

Paradoxically, awareness of self-interest makes us more reflective, allowing us to see humanity in adversaries. -- .

The book's hypothesis has key implications for debates about labour movements and the EU and its engaging style will captivate scholars, students and policymakers. -- .
