DESCRIPTION:
The book is as much of an informative and analytical history as it is a discussion of solutions for a more prosperous European economy.Rather than putting forth and supporting a thesis, Pisani-Ferry helps readers understand the past and present of the euro crisis and form their own opinions about potential solutions. The euro's life, while only slightly more than a decade long, has been riddled by a series of challenges and crises. In four parts, Jean Pisani-Ferry explains the origins of the European currency, the build-up of imbalances and oversights that led to the crisis, the choices European policymakers have both addressed and ignored since 2010, and the evolution of the policy agenda and possible options for the future. The eruption of the Greek crisis in 2010 took European policymakers by surprise and forced them to design responses to a quickly deteriorating situation. Amidst loud and frequent debates, solutions have been enacted, but the struggles facing this monetary union continue to develop even today.The Euro Crisis and Its Aftermath was written to inform readers about the roots of this enduring European crisis and the alterna

That is to say, on the euro crisis until now. Required reading." --Charles Goodhart, Professor Emeritus, London School of Economics "There is no one better than Jean Pisani-Ferry to tell the story of how a financial crisis emanating from the United Stated led the euro zone, virtually overnight, into a financial and economic crisis that continues to threaten its existence. This is a highly readable and clearheaded account of not just went wrong, but also of what must be done to save the European project." --Dani Rodrik, Professor, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton "No global financial issue is more pressing than the future of EMU. He is wise and balanced while simultaneously being sharp and incisive. If not, another book on the subject will have to be written." --Olivier Blanchard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Director of Resear
An Excellent Crisis Overview Prof. Dionysios Chionis for the end of the economic crisis in the euro area there is a need to change a lot of issues in the current economic policy. In an attempt to identify 'what' and 'how' the book of Professor Fery-Pisani offers a comprehensive analysis of the proposed changes combining both theoretical and empirical aspects. The author is not appear very optimistic for the future perspective of Eurozone and I was expecting to describe and to odffer more radical policy advices for the necessary changes of European framework. In any case I hope that the. Excellent overview of the euro crisis for those unfamiliar A. Menon The Euro Crisis and Its aftermath is a synopsis of the crisis that has unfolded in Europe after the fall of the US housing marked and the banking crisis that it catalysed. It is an excellent history of events and explains clearly what unfolded and to a certain extent why. Most of the book is a review of the crisis itself, the economics and the politics, it familiarizes the readers with how Europe got to where it was before the crisis as well as the interactions during the crisis and the actions taken by the bank which has taken Europ. rvarghese said An excellent primer on the Euro crisis. Pisani-Ferry does an excellent job covering the origins, events and possible solutions to the Euro crisis. This is all made accessible to the lay reader without being overly simplistic regarding the economic and political elements of the crisis. My one minor criticism is that I think he underplays the role of the ECB in its failure to respond aggressively to the crisis. But all in all, this is an excellent addition to a still-evolving chapter of economic history.
