ECN 304 - Economics of the European Union
The year 2002 began with an unprecedented event of immense importance in economic history: the launching of the euro.

We should not lose sight of the fact that never before have so many sovereign nation states embarked upon such an experiment, relinquishing power over their own economies and locking themselves into an economic system to be steered by an independent entity, in this case, the European Central Bank. The existence of the euro will transform the economic realities of Europe, the transatlantic relationship and Europe’s role in the world.
