There has been intense debate in the UK over the European single currency, but the ratio of light to heat has been disappointingly low. Discussion has centered on whether or not the UK should join monetary union; barely any attention has been paid to the crucial issues of how economic policy must change if the UK is to participate, or how policy must adapt if the UK stays outside.
