Giandomenico Majone Quote
As we know, integrationists saw EMU as a decisive step toward European unification, while different national leaders had different, but in each case political, reasons for supporting it. In contrast, most ‘neo-liberal’, or simply old-fashioned liberal, economists – from Milton Friedman to Martin Feldstein, from Kenneth Rogoff to Paul Krugman and the majority of German economists – opposed the idea of a centralized monetary policy for structurally diverse economies. After the introduction of the common currency, and even before the debt crisis of the euro zone, most competent economists continued to remain sceptical about the long-term success of the project – for good reasons.
