This book is the first comprehensive political and economic account of the birth and development of the Euro. Today the Euro is the supranational currency for sixteen European countries and the world’s second-largest reserve currency. David Marsh tells the story of the rivalries, intrigues, and deal making that brought about a currency for Europe, and he analyzes the achievements and shortcomings of its first decade of existence. While the Euro represents a remarkable triumph of political will, great pressures are building on the single currency. Drawing on more than 100 interviews with leading figures associated with the Euro, and scores of secret documents from international archives, Marsh underscores the Euro’s importance for the global economy, in particular for U.S. and British economic and political agendas. Hidden facts and fresh insights from The Euro: 
<ul>
<li>How the legacy of France and Germany’s tortuous relations affects the Euro</li> <li>Why the United Kingdom is unlikely to accept the Euro before 2025</li> <li>The impact on the Euro of the U.S. credit crisis</li> <li>How the Euro has rebounded against the aspirations of its founders</li> <li>How Italy and Spain have massively lost competitiveness</li> <li>Why radical changes must be adopted to prevent a European upheaval</li> </ul>

The Euro: The Battle for the New Global Currency

This short, fiercely argued book explains how five years of continuous crisis management not only have failed to resolve the Eurozone’s problems but have actually made things worse. While austerity-wracked nations descend into misery and resentment, creditor countries fear that they will be forced to subsidize their weaker brethren indefinitely. Constructive dialogue has collapsed as European decisionmaking descends into terrified paralysis, and the potential paths out of the impasse are blocked by indecision and incompetence at the top. As voters in Greece and Italy rebel against externally imposed hardship, and the sums needed to bail out failed economies reach ever more staggering proportions, the contradictions at the heart of the European project are becoming more and more obvious. Marsh warns that the current succession of complex technical fixes cannot sustain the Eurozone on life support indefinitely. Radical solutions are on offer, but without leaders who are strong and principled enough to push them through, Europe risks a depressing future of permanent decline.

Europe's Deadlock: How the Euro Crisis Could Be Solved ― And Why It Won’t Happen

With new material on the astonishing 2014–15 monetary rollercoaster, an incisive chronicler of the euro’s upheavals explains how Europe’s single currency has lurched in and out of crisis—with widespread repercussions for Britain and the rest of the world. “Marsh is an expert chronicler of European monetary union, and his analysis deserves serious consideration.”—George Soros “Europe’s Deadlock makes a hard-hitting case against ‘muddled thinking, lack of imagination and straightforward incompetence on the part of the politicians and technocrats charged with policing the single currency.’”—Ferdinando Giugliano, Financial Times “[A] pitiless analysis of a crisis that cannot be permitted to become a disaster.”—Iain Finlayson, The Times

Europe's Deadlock: How the Euro Crisis Could Be Solved ― And Why It Still Won’t Happen

In The Heart of Rock &amp; Soul, veteran rock critic Dave Marsh offers a polemical guide to the 1,001 greatest rock and soul singles ever made, encompassing rock, metal, R&amp;B, disco, folk, funk, punk, reggae, rap, soul, country, and any other music that has made a difference over the past fifty years. The illuminating essays—complete with music history, social commentary, and personal appraisals—double as a mini-history of popular music. Here you will find singles by artists as wide-ranging as Aretha Franklin, George Jones, Roy Orbison, the Sex Pistols, Madonna, Run-D.M.C., and Van Halen. Featuring a new preface that covers the hits—and misses—of the '90s, The Heart of Rock &amp; Soul remains as provocative, passionate, and timeless as the music it praises.
