'Professionally, I have to read a lot about the euro, and this is as good a short history and analysis as I have come across. Brown's book is not for the faint-hearted but is well worth the effort for anybody who wants an objective analysis of the rocky road to the current position of the euro - and the possible ways ahead.' - Professor Peter Cooke, KPMG Professor of Automotive Industries Management, Nottingham Business School, UK
