Währungsidentitäten und -kulturen im Kontext europäischer und globaler Krisen

Angebote / Angebote:

The experience of crises with a nation's own currency leaves traces: banking, financial, economic and currency crises shape political and economic systems, the handling of money at both societal and private levels, the structure and organisation of institutions and, not least, national identities and political cultures and systems.As obvious as this may sound, it is worth questioning and investigating the influence of national economic cultures as a part of national identities on the 'European construct'. It was not only in the early phases of the foundation of the European Communities that different experiences and approaches clashed controversially - even today the Euro as a common currency is consistently in crisis mode in the 'battle of economic cultures'.The aim of this volume is to investigate these historical and political connections, bringing together papers and transcriptions of conversations by figures from the worlds of monetary, financial and currency policy, expert in taxation and economic policy, and analysts of economic and currency crises who were invited to take part in the Hildesheim 'European Debates' between 2014 and 2018. In view of the various crises of the last decade, the papers and the interviews with Lars P. Feld, Werner Hoyer, Sebastian Huhnholz, Otmar Issing, Max Otte, Athanassios Pitsoulis, Hans Reckers and Klaus Regling have already become contemporary historical documents.
