A Market-Based View of European Monetary Union

Download pdf

The European Economic Community will benefit enormously from the creation of a single internal market by 1992. Nevertheless, the free movement of financial capital could force Europe to choose between fixed exchange rates and monetary independence. This Commentary discusses the alternatives involved with this choice, one of which is the creation of a European monetary union.
