Description: This book explains the political background, and describes the decision-making leading to European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). As a former central banker who participated in the process for three decades, Andre Szasz is uniquely placed to add practical insights to his theoretical and historical research. Political rather than economic considerations were decisive in establishing EMU.
