About The Euro by Joseph E. Stiglitz:

In The Euro, Columbia Business School professor and Nobel Prize-winning economist author Joseph E. Stiglitz argues that the fundamental cause of the Eurozone's recent economic difficulties was the creation of a single currency without the institutions to support it. The euro bound 19 countries with very different economies--and very different views about economics--together, but it did not include the institutions or rules to make such a union succeed.

The results of this union are clear: although the United States has experienced growth since the financial crisis, Europe is stagnant and Eurozone unemployment remains over 10%. New York Times-bestselling author Joseph Stiglitz outlines three possible ways forward: fundamental reforms to the current system, an end to the single currency experiment, or a new system entirely.

The Euro is required reading for all citizens of today's globalized world.
