With the communitarisation of monetary policy and the establishment of a European Central Bank (ECB), the idea of insulating a central bank from the political process was realised to a degree yet undreamed of.
In this regard, EMU can be conceived as a parable for the respective difficulties of the European Union.
By means of comparison with the American central banking system, the book probes the ECB´s institutional design, attempts to define the ECB´s status in EMU, and looks for ways towards a more democratically legitimated economic and monetary policy.
