The Rotten Heart of Europe

More about the book

The European Exchange Rate Mechanism has significantly impacted our lives, and the subsequent monetary union would have an even greater effect. This work reveals the deceptive narratives surrounding the push by politicians, bankers, and bureaucrats to impose a damaging monetary framework on Europe. It uncovers hidden agendas, exposes misconduct, and dismantles economic fallacies in a compelling critique of the confidence trick played on the continent by aspiring 'monetary masters.' Bernard Connolly, with his extensive experience at the heart of the ERM as head of the Commission unit responsible for its oversight, is uniquely qualified to narrate this story. Renowned for his economic acumen and candidness, he passionately advocates for the right of European peoples to govern their own affairs. His insights into the dubious motives and flawed reasoning of Euro-enthusiasts are both powerful and persuasive. Written with clarity and depth, this account makes the complex world of European monetary politics accessible. It combines a dark narrative with humor and fervor, aiming to reveal the politically damaging and economically flawed nature of the push for Monetary Union, which the author warns threatens both prosperity and liberties. This engaging and unsettling analysis is essential for anyone seeking to understand the challenges facing Britain and Europe today.
