The first half explores specific theoretical contributions within a framework of growth theory models to examine the two major pillars of the European construction, the European Central Bank and the Maastricht Treaty, and seeks to explain why they are theoretically wrong.  The second half presents results of counterfactual simulations using the Oxford Econometric model and estimates what the Eurozone has lost in terms of economic and social cost from 2002 to 2014 as a consequence of the super-evaluation of the Euro and the Maastricht Treaty parameters being mistakenly fixed and pursued. Finally, the author supports the urgent need to refund the European Union, up-dating The Maastricht Treaty and the ECB statute to build three concentric circles: the USE (United States of Europe), the EU (European Union), the EAFTDA (Europe/Africa Free Trade and Development Area). 606 $aEurope$xEconomic conditions 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aEurope$xEconomic integration 606 $aEuropean Economics 606 $aQuantitative Economics 606 $aEuropean Economic Integration 615 0$aEurope$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aEconometrics. 615 0$aEurope$xEconomic integration. 615 14$aEuropean Economics. 615 24$aQuantitative Economics. 615 24$aEuropean Economic Integration. 676 $a331.094090511 700 $aBaldassarri$b Mario$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0280873 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255048903321 996 $aThe European Roots of the Eurozone Crisis$92149564 997 $aUNINA
