During ADEMU’s two-day conference held in conjunction with the European Stability Mechanism, the International Monetary Fund and the Bank of Spain, we spoke to participants  about topics including the impact of monetary policy on human rights and the economic and politcal development of the EU.

During the conference, 57 international economists, lawyers, social scientists and researchers presented research and findings into the need for a fiscal union and discussed the future of the euro area.

Here’s what some of them had to say when we asked their views on ADEMU-related topics:
