‘Thomas Mayer, who was until recently the chief economist at Deutsche Bank Group, is both a strong defender and critic of the single currency. He insists that the repairs so far proposed for the euro do not yet add up to a comprehensive strategy for reinforcing the currency’s foundations. He puts forward his own remedy [...] [He has] produced analyses and conclusions written with a clear eye.’ —Stewart Fleming, ‘European Voice’
‘This first-rate book offers a thorough historical review of the euro and an insightful analysis of its current predicament. I highly recommend it’ —Bill Hayes, New York Society of Security Analysts
‘Mayer goes into detail on how to fix Europe’s economic woes and, having a track record in warning of recent crises before they happened, has advice on how to structure the EMU to avert future failures.’ —‘Nexus Magazine’
