Review

CESifo has done it again, asking the right questions and gathering the right analysts to answer them. By focusing on the practical side of making monetary union work in Europe, the assembled authors give policymakers insight into fiscal-monetary interactions, handling asset-price bubbles, and the structure of decision making at a central bank.
