Description

The Duomo Initiative presents: "The Euro: the History, Issues and Solutions" with Alfred Mifsud, former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Malta.

Over the past decade, we have seen Europe limp from problem to problem, from crisis to crisis and from bailout to bailout.

But what is the cause of the issues that Europe has been facing and how can they be resolved? 

What is causing the rise of populist movements in nations such as Italy and Greece, that threaten the existence of the European Union itself?

We will explore those questions and much more in this course, including:

  • The history of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) of the EU.

  • The issues that were faced by the EMU during multiple financial crises. 

  • How the European Central Bank (ECB) tackled the crisis situations.

  • The issues and flaws that still remain within the union.

  • Alfred Mifsud's proposed solutions for resolving the flaws and bringing the union towards a stable equilibrium.

This is a unique opportunity to learn from someone with decades of experience in the financial services industry and first-hand knowledge of how policy-making decisions are made at the European Central Bank.

In this course, you'll learn a practical side of economics, monetary policy, fiscal policy and politics by looking at the case study of the euro and the EMU; one of the most ambitious and important economic developments of our time.

The course features over 3 hours of video lectures (40+ modules) presented by Nicholas Puri, in the typical Duomo Initiative style (as seen in our other courses and on our popular YouTube channel), plus over 20 detailed text modules. You will also get access to an audiobook and digital version of Alfred Mifsud's book "The Euro - Cure or Curse for the Future of the EU?"

All the content in this course has been prepared by Alfred Mifsud, based on his many years of experience. Each section starts with a video of Mifsud introducing the topic and explaining why it is important.

Alfred Mifsud was the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Malta from 2015-2017. During this time, he attended all Monetary Policy meetings of the Governing Council of the ECB, during one of the most eventful and tumultuous times of any central bank in history.

Mifsud is adamant that there are clear solutions to the problems being faced in Europe today. In this course, he will explain them.
