The author demonstrates that the British government always had in mind the interests of the financial sector. As London became a successful offshore euro center, the government increasingly compensated the export-oriented business sector that had lobbied for adoption of the euro. This study shows the unequal influence of business and finance on the British economy.Monetary unionsGreat BritainEuroGreat BritainMonetary policyGreat BritainEurozoneEuropeEconomic integrationElectronic books.Monetary unionsEuroMonetary policyEurozone.332.4/941Eglene Ophelia877712MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463282503321Banking on sterling1959792UNINA
