This book explains why three countries--Britain, France, and Italy--that have faced similar problems of high inflation and currency depreciation since the 1970s--Britain, France, and Italy--have pursued very different international monetary strategies. Walsh argues that international monetary policies produce predictable sets of winners and losers, and that policy choice is a function of how industrial firms, banks, and labor unions organize and deploy their political resources. He draws on a wealth of primary data and interviews to reconstruct the domestic politics and international bargaining behind European single currency.
