  • The most up-to-date insight into the topic, and the only textbook to fully assess the effects of leaving a monetary union
  • Provides the most authoritative analysis of the fragility of the European monetary unification and proposes a range of strategies to make the Eurozone more robust
  • The right mix of theoretical and applied analysis, providing students with a solid basis for examining monetary union and a balanced understanding of different arguments and perspectives

New to this Edition:

  • New chapter on 'Deconstructing the Eurozone', explores the possible implications of a Eurozone member voting to leave, considering the impact on both the exiting member, and the Eurozone itself

The twelfth edition of Economics of Monetary Union provides a concise analysis of the theories and policies relating to monetary union.
