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. 606 $aMonetary unions$zGreat Britain 606 $aEuro$zGreat Britain 606 $aMonetary policy$zGreat Britain 606 $aEurozone 607 $aEurope$xEconomic integration 615 0$aMonetary unions 615 0$aEuro 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 0$aEurozone. 676 $a332.4/941 700 $aEglene$b Ophelia$01680489 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827775003321 996 $aBanking on sterling$94049225 997 $aUNINA
