This book explains the political background and describes the decision-making leading to European Monetary Union, as seen by a former central banker who participated in the process during more than two decades. Political rather than economic considerations were decisive in establishing EMU.

Thus, the issues involved are issues of power, though often presented in technical terms of economics.
