History

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. David Marsh tells the story of the rivalries, intrigues, and deal making that brought about a currency for Europe, and he analyzes the achievements and shortcomings of its first decade of existence. While the Euro represents a remarkable triumph of political will, great pressures are building on the single currency. Drawing on more than 100 interviews with leading figures associated with the Euro, and scores of secret documents from international archives, Marsh underscores the Euro’s importance for the global economy, in particular for U.S. and British economic and political agendas. Hidden facts and fresh insights from The Euro: 
<ul>
<li>How the legacy of France and Germany’s tortuous relations affects the Euro</li> <li>Why the United Kingdom is unlikely to accept the Euro before 2025</li> <li>The impact on the Euro of the U.S. credit crisis</li> <li>How the Euro has rebounded against the aspirations of its founders</li> <li>How Italy and Spain have massively lost competitiveness</li> <li>Why radical changes must be adopted to prevent a European upheaval</li> </ul>

The Euro: The Battle for the New Global Currency

This short, fiercely argued book explains how five years of continuous crisis management not only have failed to resolve the Eurozone’s problems but have actually made things worse. While austerity-wracked nations descend into misery and resentment, creditor countries fear that they will be forced to subsidize their weaker brethren indefinitely. Constructive dialogue has collapsed as European decisionmaking descends into terrified paralysis, and the potential paths out of the impasse are blocked by indecision and incompetence at the top. As voters in Greece and Italy rebel against externally imposed hardship, and the sums needed to bail out failed economies reach ever more staggering proportions, the contradictions at the heart of the European project are becoming more and more obvious. Marsh warns that the current succession of complex technical fixes cannot sustain the Eurozone on life support indefinitely. Radical solutions are on offer, but without leaders who are strong and principled enough to push them through, Europe risks a depressing future of permanent decline.

Europe's Deadlock: How the Euro Crisis Could Be Solved ― And Why It Won’t Happen

With new material on the astonishing 2014–15 monetary rollercoaster, an incisive chronicler of the euro’s upheavals explains how Europe’s single currency has lurched in and out of crisis—with widespread repercussions for Britain and the rest of the world. “Marsh is an expert chronicler of European monetary union, and his analysis deserves serious consideration.”—George Soros “Europe’s Deadlock makes a hard-hitting case against ‘muddled thinking, lack of imagination and straightforward incompetence on the part of the politicians and technocrats charged with policing the single currency.’”—Ferdinando Giugliano, Financial Times “[A] pitiless analysis of a crisis that cannot be permitted to become a disaster.”—Iain Finlayson, The Times

Europe's Deadlock: How the Euro Crisis Could Be Solved ― And Why It Still Won’t Happen

A bold new account of Europe’s plight as it faces political fracture, economic stagnation and external challenges from the U.S., China and Russia\nToday, Europe finds itself in a fast-changing, polarised world dominated by Chinese-American rivalry. The European Union and its surrounding nonmember states, despite initial successes after the fall of the Berlin Wall, have failed to implement a strategy for success in the twenty-first century. Britain’s exit from the Union has weakened both sides, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has thrown these shortcomings into sharp relief. How should states across the continent position themselves in the decades to come?\nDrawing on unpublished archives and interviews with over 150 leading figures, David Marsh investigates Europe’s present crisis, from the march of populism, Franco-German malaise, and the breakdown of relations with Putin’s Russia. Fault lines are emerging in the monetary union, while the fight against climate change has impacted growth. Facing its gravest test since the Second World War, Europe must find fresh reserves of resilience—and seek out renewed international partnerships to ensure success.
