Synopsis
A timely and provocative account of why the euro has failed and why, as a result, the Union will unravel
Examining key economic indicators and assessing the situation across Europe, two British journalists assess why the euro has failed--and what will happen when the European Union completely unravels.
"This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of Europe and progressive politics. Larry Elliott and Dan Atkinson correctly predicted the euro would prove a calamity. They are right today that the euro crisis is far from over. Their demand for a radical change of approach must be taken seriously--by policy makers and politicians alike."--Ed Balls, UK Shadow Chancellor from 2011 to 2015
" The book] offers useful insight into why so many people thought the euro was a good idea in the first place."--Harvard Business Review
