“The Euro and the Battle of Ideas,” co-authored by professors based at Princeton University and SciencesPo, has been named to The Economist’s Books of the Year 2016 list.

Published by Princeton University Press, the book was written by Markus Brunnermeier, Edwards S. Sanford Professor of Economics at Princeton; Harold James, the Claude and Lore Kelly Professor in European Studies and professor of history and international affairs at Princeton University and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs; and Jean-Pierre Landau, professor of economics at SciencesPo, former deputy governor of the Banque de France and director of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

As described by The Economist, the authors “focus on France and Germany to tease out the clashing economic ideas that make up the euro project.” The book argues that the core problem with the euro lies within the philosophical differences between Germany and France — the founding countries of the Eurozone.

“The Euro and the Battle of Ideas” is among The Economist’s Top 10 Books in the area of politics and current affairs. It also was named to The Financial Times’ Best Books of 2016: Economics list.
