Having spent 17 years at the Financial Times, of which the last four were as European Editor, David Marsh is today one of the UK’s foremost experts on the European economy and one of the best-informed commentators on Germany. He is the author of several highly-regarded
books, and his latest volume, The EURO: The Politics of the New Global Currency (2008, Yale University Press) draws on unique interview and archival material to present a fascinating and intimate portrait of this remarkable financial instrument.

This timely event is organised and sponsored by Aston University's newly-established centre for European affairs, the Aston Centre for Europe (ACE). ACE aims both to stimulate and shape debates about Europe and the challenges facing it at a local, national and international level and as part of this mission, hosts high-profile public events which are open to the general public.
