He is the author, most recently, of Europe's Promise: Why the European Way Is the Best Hope for an Insecure Age, published in January 2010. His previous books also include 10 Steps to Repair American Democracy (2006), and Fixing Elections: The Failure of America's Winner Take All Politics (2003).

Mr. Hill's articles and commentaries have been published in a large number of leading journals and publications (New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, International Herald Tribune, Guardian..). He has appeared on national and local radio and television programs, and has lectured widely in the United States and Europe. He has been a leading force for political reform in the United States for many years.
 
In the Czech Republic, he will speak at a conference organized by the Goethe Institute and the U.S. Embassy entitled “American Dream - Escape from Old Europe?” at the Prague's Goethe Institute on February 18th, 2011.

Financial Times: “Steven Hill is a lucid and engaging writer. He makes you sit up and think. He is surely right in saying that Europe’s prosperous, peaceful and democratic social market economy looks attractive when contrasted with the unbalanced, excessively deregulated US model or with China's politically repressive capitalism.”

The lecture and discussion will be simultaneously interpreted into Czech.
