DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nYiannis Kitromilides is Associate Member of the Cambr
 idge Centre of Economic and Public Policy\, Department of Land Economy\, U
 niversity of Cambridge. He has previously taught at the University of Gree
 nwich\, University of Westminster\, University of Middlesex and the School
  of Oriental and African Studies\, University of London. He has published 
 in refereed journals and contributed chapters in books in the areas of pub
 lic sector economics\, the political economy of public policy making\, nat
 ionalization of banking\, economics of austerity\, the euro area crisis an
 d the economics of climate change.\n\nTalk Overview:\nYiannis Kitromilides
  will discuss the contention that events in Greece in 2010 not only sparke
 d off the crisis in the euro area but also created the widespread impressi
 on that the crisis was a fiscal crisis. \nYiannis Kitromilides will argue 
 that the crisis was primarily due to the faulty architecture of the moneta
 ry union in Europe and that without appropriate political foundations the 
 single currency will not survive. \nAn urgent debate is needed about the k
 ind of political foundations that are necessary in order to salvage the 
 ‘European project’ of a politically united Europe. However utopian the
  prospect of a politically united Europe may sound it is not any more utop
 ian than the belief that the current monetary union can survive without fu
 rther political integration.\n\n
