This book is the first comprehensive political and economic account of the birth and development of the Euro. Today the Euro is the supranational currency for sixteen European countries and the world’s second-largest reserve currency.

Hidden facts and fresh insights from The Euro: How the legacy of France and Germany’s tortuous relations affects the Euro Why the United Kingdom is unlikely to accept the Euro before 2025 The impact on the Euro of the U.S. credit crisis How the Euro has rebounded against the aspirations of its founders How Italy and Spain have massively lost competitiveness Why radical changes must be adopted to prevent a European upheaval… (más)

Frankly, I was expecting more. While I'm not as in the dark on the euro as I was going in to this, I certainly wouldn't consider myself much more adept at discussing it. I could give you a rough timeline of events in the life of the common European currency, but that's about it. There was no real 'narrative,' but instead what felt like a hastily-cobbled together bunch of quotes and never-before-disclosed snippets (something the author always pointed out). Perhaps I was just in over my head, economically and historically/culturally, but wow-what a letdown. If you're like me and simply wanting to understand the history and details of the coming of the euro... look elsewhere than this book. A no doubt fascinating and extraordinary story that will have to wait to be told in another book. ( )
