The Single European Currency in National Perspective: A Community in Crisis? [Hardcover]

Bernard H. Moss (Editor), Jonathan Michie (Editor)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0312215312 | ISBN-13: 978-0312215316 | Publication Date: July 15, 1998

This is the first book to look at the European Union and single currency from the perspective of member-states. It offers a systematic critique of the project from the viewpoint of labor and employment. Written by political economists, a historian and lawyer, an economic journalist and a trade-union leader for both an academic and general audience, it is interdisciplinary and synthetic in approach. In seeking to explain the crisis that has best Europe as a result of European and monetary union, it is likely to become the standard alternative text to the conventional wisdom on European integration.
