  • Historical Record of Monetary Unions: Lessons for the European Economic and Monetary Union
    Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov • Vol. 6 (55) •No. 2 - 2013 Series V: Economic Sciences HISTORICAL RECORD OF MONETARY UNIONS: LESSONS FOR THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION Ileana TACHE1 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to make a record of previous monetary unions and derive some useful lessons for the European Economic and Monetary Union. Evaluating the political economy of the euro through the lens of history, with the help of comparative analysis, can contribute to better understanding the present stage of the EMU and its challenges. Even if the EU is a unique, sui generis, phenomenon, the analytical lessons learned from the historical cases could be applied to the contemporary situation of the euro. Key words: European Economic and Monetary Union, Gold Standard, USA monetary union, monetary unification of Italy, German Zollverein, Latin Monetary Union, Scandinavian Monetary Union. 1. Introduction The study is built on the main contributions Even if euro still appears like a novelty in of the literature in this field, such as Bordo the process of European construction and as and Jonung (1999), Bergman (1999), international currency, it was preceded by a Foreman-Peck (2005), McNamara (2011) few monetary unions on the continent and or de Vanssay (1999). outside of it.

Political Economy: Definitions Politicians neither love nor hate, interest, not sentiment, governs them. Earl of Chesterfield Political science has studied man’s behavior in the public arena; economics has studied man in the marketplace. Political science has often assumed that political man pursues the public interest. Economics has assumed that all men pursue their private interests. (…) But is this dichotomy valid? Dennis Muller Over its long lifetime, the phrase ‘political economy’ has had many meanings. For Adam Smith, political economy was the science of managing a nation’s resource as to generate wealth. For Marx, it was how the ownership of the means of production influenced historical processes. Weingast and Wittman A general definition is that political is the study of the interaction of politics and economics. Political economy begins with the nature of political decision-making and is concerned with how politics will affect economic choice in a society. Political economy begins with the observation that actual policies are often quite different from optimal policies.

To Moos and Misha In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods.

  • One Currency One? Country?
    THE FEDERAL TRUST Enlightening the Debate on Good Governance One Currency One? Country? Christopher Johnson European Essay No.7 A Definition of Federalism Federalism is defined as ‘a system of government in which central and regional authorities are linked in an interdependent political relationship, in which powers and functions are distributed to achieve a substantial degree of autonomy and integrity in the regional units. In theory, a federal system seeks to maintain a balance such that neither level of government becomes sufficiently dominant to dictate the decision of the other, unlike in a unitary system, in which the central authorities hold primacy to the extent even of redesigning or abolishing regional and local units of government at will.’ (New Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thought) _________________________________________________________________________ Patrons Council Lord Briggs Andrew Adonis Sir Bernard Burrows David Barton Rt Hon Lord Cockfield Professor Iain Begg Sir Brian Corby Graham Bishop Lord Ezra Dr Michael Burgess Lord Forte Alison Cottrell Sir Michael Franklin Harry Cowie Sir Arthur Knight Geoffrey Denton Lord Mackenzie-Stuart Robert Emerson Sir Donald Maitland Dr Nigel Forman Baroness Nicholson of Maurice Fraser Winterbourne MEP Baroness Sally Greengross Rt Hon Sir Michael Palliser Professor Stanley Henig Lord Plumb Isabel Hilton Lord Roll of Ipsden Jonathan Hoffman Rt Hon Lord Scarman John Leech Rt Hon Lord Thomson of Baroness Ludford MEP Monifieth Peter Luff Carole Tongue Nicolas Maclean Sir Brian Urquhart David Martin MEP Sir Peter Ustinov Dr Richard Mayne Professor Jörg Monar Director John Stevens Dr Martyn Bond Lord Taverne QC Chairman Dr Richard Whitman John Pinder OBE Ernest Wistrich _________________________________________________ The views expressed in this European Essay are the views of the author only.
