Download or read book European Monetary Union Since 1848 written by Willem Frans Victor Vanthoor and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative book - based on actual historical experience - advances the controversial idea that European Monetary Union will only succeed if supported by much closer political union between the member states. A careful analysis of initiatives in the nineteenth century shows that if a monetary union is based on an agreement between autonomous states, tensions arise which eventually destroy the arrangements. This leads to the conclusion that political union is a prerequisite not only for the sustainability of a monetary union, but also and especially for its irreversibility.
Download or read book The European Monetary Union written by Nicola Acocella and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union is at a crossroads. This book analyzes the historical roots of the EU's monetary and financial institutions in order to better understand its struggle to maintain an economic and monetary union, as well as the ongoing problems facing the Euro. The institutions of the EU are based on the operation of free markets, a common monetary policy, and the European Central Bank. These founding policies have created many of the imbalances at the root of the ongoing European recession. Reemerging threats of populism and localism are poised to further disintegrate the European construction and may spark fierce opposition between countries. Acocella engages with these risks, suggesting detailed actions for reform within the EU and its institutions that may steer it away from further conflict, allowing it to better serve its member states and citizens.

Download or read book The Euro and Economic and Monetary Union written by Malcolm Townsend and published by John Harper Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a former official of the EC's Monetary Committee, this systematic study meets the need for a description of the EU's economic and monetary union, rooted in the Treaties and the legal texts. It is a guide to the fundamentals of EMU and an aid to understanding and predicting issues and debates arising in Brussels and Frankfurt. EMU is given its location in economic and monetary thought and developing notions of central banking as well as in the history of attempts by the EU to find an effective exchange-rate regime. The book answers concrete questions on the rules for public finance, the concept of an excessive government deficit, the current trend of economic policy, the abolition of exchange control, exchange-rate policy for the Euro and the Community's place in the international monetary system. It makes clear what kind of currency the Euro is, and above all its grounding in price stability.

Download or read book Sui Generis European Monetary Union written by Barry J. Eichengreen and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis of this paper is that there is no historical precedent for Europe's monetary union (EMU). While it is possible to point to similar historical experiences, the most obvious of which were in the 19th century, occurred in Europe, and had "union" as part of their names, EMU differs from these earlier monetary unions. The closer one looks the more uncomfortable one becomes with the effort to draw parallels on the basis of historical experience. It is argued that efforts to draw parallels between EMU and monetary unions past are more likely to mislead than to offer useful insights. Where history is useful is not in drawing parallels but in pinpointing differences. It is useful for highlighting what is distinctive about EMU.

Download or read book The Euro and the Battle of Ideas written by Markus K. Brunnermeier and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How philosophical differences between Eurozone nations led to the Euro crisis—and where to go from here Why is Europe's great monetary endeavor, the Euro, in trouble? A string of economic difficulties in Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy, and other Eurozone nations has left observers wondering whether the currency union can survive. In this book, Markus Brunnermeier, Harold James, and Jean-Pierre Landau argue that the core problem with the Euro lies in the philosophical differences between the founding countries of the Eurozone, particularly Germany and France. But the authors also show how these seemingly incompatible differences can be reconciled to ensure Europe’s survival. As the authors demonstrate, Germany, a federal state with strong regional governments, saw the Maastricht Treaty, the framework for the Euro, as a set of rules. France, on the other hand, with a more centralized system of government, saw the framework as flexible, to be overseen by governments. The authors discuss how the troubles faced by the Euro have led its member states to focus on national, as opposed to collective, responses, a reaction explained by the resurgence of the battle of economic ideas: rules vs. discretion, liability vs. solidarity, solvency vs. liquidity, austerity vs. stimulus. Weaving together economic analysis and historical reflection, The Euro and the Battle of Ideas provides a forensic investigation and a road map for Europe’s future.
Download or read book The Road to European Monetary Union written by André Szász and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-03-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the political background and describes the decision-making leading to European Monetary Union, as seen by a former central banker who participated in the process during more than two decades. Political rather than economic considerations were decisive in establishing EMU. French-German relations in particular form a thread that runs through the book, notably French efforts to replace German monetary domination by a form of decision-making France can influence. Thus, the issues involved are issues of power, though often presented in technical terms of economics.
