Rethinking Economic and Monetary Union in Europe

<p>In the wake of the Greek crisis the future of the EU is the subject of a great deal of debate. This book critically evaluates the current new monetarist model of Economic and Monetary Union in Europe presenting an alternative post-Keynesian (progressive) model aimed at addressing the current problems of trade imbalance and asymmetric macroeconomic policy infrastructure that are augmenting tensions within the Eurozone.</p><p></p><p>The book’s approach is based upon the development of a common rather than a single currency approach and utilises post-Keynesian policy solutions in order to create a form of EMU which will promote full employment rather than austerity.</p>
