Monetary union  the ERMs offspring  would affect us even more. The Rotten Heart of Europe  exposes the doubletalk surrounding the efforts of politicians  bankers and bureaucrats to force Europe into a crippling monetary straitjacket. Hidden agendas are laid bare  skulduggery exposed and economic fallacies are skewered in a devastating account of the confidence trick played on Europe by the would-be monetary masters of the world. Bernard Connolly could hardly have been better placed to write the inside story of the dirty war for Europes money. For years he has been at the heart of the ERM  as head of the Commission unit responsible for monitoring and servicing the system. Respected by academics  officials and financial market players for his economic expertise and his straight talking  he writes with a deep commitment to restoring the right of the peoples of Europe to order their own affairs. It is this commitment which makes his portrait of the sinister motives and back-to-front reasoning of many Euro-propagandists so powerful and convincing. The Rotten Heart of Europe is written with a sureness of economic understanding and a depth of political insight that make the arcane world of European monetary politics accessible. It is a dark story leavened with humour and informed with passion - a passion to tell the true story of a mechanism as politically damaging as it is economically perverse  and of the march to Monetary Union that  the author argues  is a threat not only to our prosperity but also to our liberties and  ultimately  to our peace. No one who wants to understand how Britain has been taken for a ride by the proponents of federalism  and why Europe is economically underperforming and politically imploding  can afford to miss this enthralling and disturbing book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964467441717,"sku":"ByrdShop_0571175201","price":67.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780571175208_6005769f-b0d7-40ad-8834-c52f51184d5c.jpg?v=1770462321","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-rotten-heart-of-europe-the-dirty-war-for-europes-money","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
