The author  pays particular attention to the serious adverse consequences of those policies, namely unemployment and slow growth. As the title suggests, the author examines in detail the formulation of the «Alternative Policy» which focuses on stronger growth, employment and social cohesion as a way to avert the aforementioned consequences and contribute decisively to the successful completion of the common currency. A valuable addition to your library, The European Recession and the «Alternative Policy» is necessary in understanding the complex developments of EU's integration and monetary union.
