New book offers hope for Europe's economic and political future.
The book "A Monetary Hope for Europe" explores the euro from a global perspective, with contributions from economists, historians, and law academics. The goal is to provide insights into the euro and the European Union in economic, historical, legal, and political contexts. The researchers discussed diverse views on the euro and the struggle for a new global currency at a conference in 2013. The essays in the book have been revised in light of the ongoing crisis in Europe. The volume aims to enhance understanding of the euro and the EU.
