The Great Euro Crash, with Robert Peston
Description
For more than two years, Europe has teetered on the edge of an economic precipice-one of the factors that has pushed Britain back into recession. How exactly did Europe get itself into the current financial mess? Talking to historians, economists and politicians, BBC business editor Robert Peston takes a long view of the euro-from Churchill's vision of a United States of Europe to the bail-outs of Greece, Portugal, and Ireland. Britain, with its vast financial sector, would be dragged down by its collapse and return to the economic mayhem of the 1930s.
