- Summary:
-
"At the end of the American century, and as the vision of a Pacific century blurs and fades, the creation of the European Central Bank heralds Europe's renaissance as a global economic superpower. The ECB, possessing a greater degree of independence and wider powers than any previous central bank, governs a currency that circulates among 290 million Europeans, and oversees an economic bloc matched only by the United States in size and might."--BOOK JACKET. "The Bank is not just a gripping account of the intrigues and fights that accompanied the creation of the bank. It provides wider context and analysis, with detailed portraits of the key players involved, explaining and examining fully the crucial impact of the bank on Europe's place in the world, and the impact of the bank's creation on national financial centres such as the City of London."--BOOK JACKET.
