Review of Otmar Issing's book on the Birth of the Euro

Posted on by

This new book by the origins of the Euro by one of its intellectual architects, the ECB board member and formerly Bundesbank chief economist, has been favourably reviewed by Oliver Kamm of the Times; it's a review which is in the new issue of The Business Economist, the journal of the SBE. Subscribers will find a lively batch of reviews in there. Non-subscribers will have to wait three months before they go freely online, but I'll post the link when they do.

The time is obviously ripe for assessment of the single currency: the political economy of the Euro is the subject of another new book by David Marsh. This will be reviewed in a future edition of The Business Economist.

One thought on “Review of Otmar Issing's book on the Birth of the Euro”

  1. I just wanted to say that
    a) The euro is just a fad and will pass, the hula-hoop of currency and
    b) I once sat opposite Otmar Issing at lunch. He's _very_ clever.
