The euro crisis never seems to end. One reason why Europe is chronically unable to draw a line under its crisis is a failure to understand how it got into that crisis in the first place. In this lecture Professor Eichengreen takes a long view of events, starting with the birth of the European Union and advent of the euro and concluding with recommendations for resolving

the crisis.
