Presentation
Since in 2017 the sixtieth anniversary of the Treaty of Rome coincides with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Maastricht Treaty, the Revue d’économie financière has taken a look back at European history and imagined what the future may hold. The context is a Europe in poor shape—the financial crisis, and following it the Eurozone crisis, have done a lot of damage in Europe; the parties of protest, which are generally anti-European, have an ever greater appeal; and the United Kingdom has decided to leave the European Union. This issue opens with the accounts of three major players, François Villeroy de Galhau, Mario Monti, and Pascal Lamy, and is then structured around three sections dedicated to, first, the birth of the single market, its strengthening, and its evolution, secondly, the challenges of financial Europe, and, finally, the future of Europe and the reforms that are still necessary. The review continues with the column on financial history devoted to the lessons to be drawn from the monetary history of Greece and with three articles on different subjects of financial economics: how the market performs when the Left is in power in France, the consequences of the low-interest rate policy, and Islamic banks.
