From the very beginning, the Euro was meant to be more than just a currency: it embodies the desire for unity and peace in Europe. However, more than a decade after its introduction, a deep rift runs through Europe. In the south, unemployment remains unbearable, and the economy is in shambles. The north is pushed into the role of the paymaster and is held hostage by the ECB. As a result, dissatisfaction grows on both sides. We have embarked on a political path that endangers our market economy, democracy, and peace in Europe. In this book, Hans-Werner Sinn provides an analysis of recent developments and outlines what needs to be done to end the crisis.
