European Union and the Euro Revolution is a challenging study of
the progression of the historic movement towards one European
family. This volume is the first, most comprehensive exposition of
the treatise of supranational macroeconomics. The Keynesian
Revolution taught us macroeconomics in the context of a sovereign
nation state. In the post-WWII decades, the concept of
supra-national macroeconomics became the core theme of the European
Union. Indeed, the traditional concept of a sovereign nation state
economy begs a thorough reexamination.
One common economic unit with its well-specified micro and
macroeconomic parameters has been mapped onto one common geographic
unit, the continent of Europe, a group of sovereign European nation
states voluntarily surrendering their erstwhile sovereignty. The
official inauguration of one common money, the euro, managed by one
common supra-national central bank, the European Central Bank
(ECB), on January 1, 1999, has been an epochal event in the
eventful history of the European Union (EU) from 1958 through the
present. As of 1999, with the euro and the ECB firmly established,
the debate became: one money to one Europe.
European Union and the Euro Revolution draws on the authors
extensive field studies as a Visiting Scholar with three European
national central banks, De Netherlandsche Bank in Amsterdam, Banque
de France in Paris, and Der Deutsche Bundesbank in Frankfurt and
Japans Ministry of Finance in Tokyo.
His personal conferences with Dr. Otmar Issing, Chief Economist and
a Member of the Executive Board of the ECB enriched his
understanding of the related issues. His personal conferences with
ranking economists and policy-makers ofBank of Japan and Japan Bank
for International Development Tokyo, the Peoples Bank of China
(PBOC) Beijing, Reserve Bank of Australia Canberra and Reserve Bank
of New Zealand, Wellington, the Federal Reserve Banks of New York,
San Francisco, and Atlanta plus his invited presentations at
universities and research institutions in USA, Japan, China, Korea,
Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand,
Viet Nam, Nepal, India, Australia, and New Zealand have added
resourceful inputs to this volume. His invited presentation in 2002
at the special workshop sponsored by the United Nations
International Training and Research (UNITAR) at the United Nations
Headquarter in New York City, of course, brought meaningful
insights.
