"""The Eurozone crisis threw a bewildering array of factors, actors, institutions and rules in the faces of those who sought to divine what was actually going on. In the midst of the crisis few of us thought to provide the world with a week-by-week summary and analysis of events. And yet Erik Jones has done just that, giving scholars and policymakers perhaps the definitive timeline of what went wrong, where, and why."" - Mark Blyth, author of Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea (2014) ""A really good idea, really well implemented. Jones tackles a year of the eurozone crisis with typical verve and originality. The reader can follow events enfolding, and gain a profound insight both into the decisions taken, the rationales behind them, and their potential implications."" - Anand Menon, Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs, King's College London, UK"
