You cannot understand the Euro without understanding its history.

The Euro was born from a political ambition of European integration. Economics played only a secondary role in the process. It is ironic, since giving up your currency is one of the most important macroeconomic decisions a country can make.

There is no political union binding the Eurozone together.

Decisions have to be made through compromise between 17 independent countries. It is inefficient and slow.

The lack of political union is a severe constraint on the ability to effectively fight economic and financial crisis. This leaves crisis-hit Eurozone countries stuck in a costly deflationary equilibrium. This type of adjustment is similar to that experienced during the gold standard decades ago. The economic pain fuels political tension that could sow the seeds for future crisis.

The alternative to further integration is a form of breakup of the Euro.

If countries cannot agree on a common path, the logical consequence is to move back to independent economic policies, including independent currencies. The topic of breakup is complex and not well understood. There are plenty of myths to dispel.

The original Euro has fallen. A new version of the Euro is under construction. European officials like to call it EMU 2.0. But it is not finished yet, and it is too early to tell for sure which form it will ultimately take, and whether it can survive the current economic and social crisis.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT THE BOOK

“Despite diminished concerns about the immediate instability of the Eurozone, the ultimate fate of the Euro common currency regime lingers as one of the great unresolved – and potentially cataclysmic – issues on the minds of market participants. Jens Nordvig offers readers an exceptional opportunity to understand and evaluate the technical elements and the practical market realities of what the future holds. Jens is one of the most insightful, brightest minds in the industry on these matters, and throughout the evolution of the events in Europe, I have come to depend on his interpretation of the evolving story. Jens brings to the effort for this book both his tremendous market experience and fundamental economics training, as well as his passion to see those in Europe, and across the global economy, successfully navigate the unsettled waters that lie ahead for the Euro.”

CURTIS ARLEDGEChief Executive Officer, BNY Mellon Investment Management and Vice Chairman, BNY Mellon

“The Fall of the Euro offers a bold, concise, and thoughtful perspective on the conditions and compromises that triggered the Euro crisis, the political and economic dynamics that have hindered policy response, and the range of plausible scenarios that may trace the uncertain road ahead.  Jens Nordvig brings a keen insight into markets and economics that he ably combines with a brisk, no-nonsense narrative. This is essential reading for market players, investors, and prognosticators of the future of the Eurozone.”

RICHARD CLARIDAC. Lowell Harriss Professor of Economics and International Affairs, Columbia University; Global Strategic Advisor, Pimco; Former Assistant Secretary of Treasury for Economic Policy

“Jens Nordvig’s book artfully combines a master economist’s framework, a seasoned market participant’s advice, an historian’s far-reaching perspective, and a European citizen’s passionate case for an open discussion of the way forward for the world’s largest economic bloc.  As a European living in the United States and working for a Japanese financial institution,  Nordvig is able to provide a singularly unique perspective that should be read by investors, policymakers, and the average man on the street.”

SCOTT BESSENTChief Investment Officer, Soros Fund Management LLC

“Jens Nordvig has delivered a primal scream about his Europe. Describing the great democratic deficit and failure of the Eurozone experiment, The Fall of the Euro is riveting in its discussion of the Euro’s history and its present, and most importantly in the prescriptions that Nordvig provides. There is anger in the streets. Voters must and will be heard. The Fall of the Euro needs to be read by all those demanding brave policy from Europe’s timid elite.”

TOM KEENEEditor at Large Bloomberg Television & Radio; Host of Bloomberg Surveillance

“Jens Nordvig has always stood out from the crowd as a market economist. He has the imagination to ask the hardest questions in political economy and was one of the first to analyze the economic, legal, and political consequences of the Euro splitting asunder. Whether or not you share his pessimism about the future of the Euro project, Nordvig’s guide to the crisis is a compelling and essential read. “

GAVYN DAVIESChairman of Fulcrum Asset Management LLP, former Goldman Sachs Chief Economist, and Financial Times columnist

“In this  bold, highly readable book, Jens Nordvig beautifully highlights the tensions between the politics and the economics that are at heart of the Euro crisis.  A must read for anyone who cares about the future of Europe.”

ANIL KASHYAPProfessor of Economics and Finance, University of Chicago Booth School of Business

“This excellent book combines a clear understanding of the Euro’s past with an insightful economic analysis of its inherent flaws. Nordvig calmly explains how a breakup might work, dispelling many popular myths along the way.  I learned much from The Fall of the Euro and I thoroughly recommend it.”
