Abstract

To convince international financial investors of the high real value of the Euro, the EMU has established rules that must be enforced in both the short and the long run. These rules are explained and the economics behind them criticized in the context of a monetary production economy in which financial markets play a central role. It is argued that the Euro cannot be an anchor for a new world financial order.
