Lezioni per l’Europa: crisi e prospettive di sviluppo economico dell’eurozona – Intervista a Giuseppe Di Taranto

Abstract

Professor Giuseppe Di Taranto, an esteemed economist at LUISS Guido Carli, discusses the weaknesses of the European Monetary Union (EMU) and proposes solutions in light of the recent lecture by Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz. He highlights flaws in the eurozone's design, particularly its favoring of fiscal austerity over growth, leading to German dominance. Di Taranto advocates for a bailout fund, monetary flexibility, and common fiscal policies to address these issues. He underscores the need for better market regulation and a shift towards sustainable economic development.
