About this book

Dollar, Euro's and Debt discusses the recent financial, economic, and fiscal crisis. It argues that the focus that has been put on cyclical aspects of the crisis has missed the fundamental point, that the crisis is largely structural, even though cyclical factors (the sub-prime problem) may have precipitated, or better anticipated, it.
