The Fall of the Euro
The Fall of the Euro provides an essential roadmap on Europe’s economic and political developments that poses to be a persistent source of shocks for global financial markets. With descriptions of the Eurozone’s unstable equilibrium and explanations on why a breakup of the Eurozone is still a possibility, author Jens Nordvig provides a detailed discussion of this unsteady situation. This book provides the information, insight, and authoritative analysis of what you need to know about the Euro’s present position in the global economy with levels of objectivity and expertise you will find nowhere else.
