The battle of the systems within the EU is as lively as it ever was, if not livelier. Europe is not converging on a single capitalism, but the many national forms it takes are all subject to similar forces. There is convergence in the processes at work in the world and in Europe — the complex processes often summarized as ‘globalization’ — but there is continued divergence in national structures. Convergence with the USA is otherwise taking place for political reasons, since the euro is working as a neo-liberal engine.
Keywords: euro, Economic and Monetary Union, models of capitalism, corporate governance, globalization, neo-liberalism, Germany, France
