A Barbarous Relic: The Economic Consequences of the Euro

Matthias Matthijs

Challenge, 2015, vol. 58, issue 6, 477-491

Abstract: The main argument the author makes is that the euro shows striking similarities to the workings of the interwar monetary system. In an important sense, the euro suffers all the disadvantages of the interwar gold standard, without enjoying any of the advantages.
