The Sound of Economics is a series of podcasts about economic policy, brought to you by Bruegel.
Each episode focuses on a key economic policy debate.


In this episode we are joined by Jeffry Frieden, Professor of Government at Harvard University.


EPISODE 3
Many in the EU look to the USA as a model for monetary union in the Eurozone. But how easy was it to create such a union, and what can Europe learn from the USA’s experience?


This podcast was recorded when Jeffry Frieden visited Bruegel on 25 May 2016 to give a lecture on the topic. Bruegel also published an essay by Frieden, based on his lecture.
