SPERI BOOK LAUNCH: EUROPE'S DEADLOCK BY DAVID MARSH (CHAIRMAN, OMFIF)
Thursday 7 November 2013 at 6.00pm
Firth Hall, Firth Court, Western Bank S10 2TN
How the Euro Crisis could be solved - and why it won't happen
David Marsh, Chairman of the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF) will launch his new book 'Europe's Deadlock'.
In this short, fiercelyargued book, David Marsh explains how five years of continuous crisis management have not only failed to resolve the Eurozone's problems but actually made things worse. While austerity-wracked southern states descend into misery and resentment, creditor countries - led by Germany - fear that they will be forced to subsidise their weaker brethren indefinitely. Constructive dialogue has collapsed as European decision-making descends into terrified paralysis, and the potential paths out of the impasse are blocked by indecision and incompetence at the top.
