interesting video, its seems to suggest that if we are to share a common market and the benefit from this, there must be a common politics (e.g. freedom of movement and welfare).
I think it assumes too much for the altruism of bearucrats, I think corruption will run rampant, epsecially ifthe government is socialistic in nature(by that I mean coercive and collectivist) and has powers to influence the policies of native goverments. Just look at the federal goverment of the US!
