Mario Draghi, el artífice

In July 2012, Mario Draghi spoke in London the words that would represent a turning point in the European crisis: "Whatever it takes". It was the announcement, at the most dramatic moment of the eurozone crisis, that the European Central Bank would do everything necessary to protect the single currency. And so it happened. Draghi was the architect of a rescue that many considered impossible, when, in the midst of a world crisis only comparable to that of 1929, the Greek, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese debts endangered the very existence of the common European project. Fruit of the collaboration between Jana Randow and Alessandro Speciale, two respected economic journalists who for years have covered current European monetary affairs, this book traces an accurate portrait of Mario Draghi through meetings and interviews with some of the most important figures on the scene. international economy, highlighting its relationship with the countries that suffered the most from the crisis, the crucial issue of banking supervision, and the future of the European Union and its central monetary authority.
