Professor Ashoka Mody (external link)’s recent book about the eurozone crisis is winner of the PROSE Award (external link) from the Association of American Publishers (external link) (PSP).

“EuroTragedy: A Drama in Nine Acts (external link),” published in June 2018 by Oxford University Press, won the best book in economics. The piece offers a historical narrative of how European leaders decided to adopt the euro as a common currency and how the eurozone crisis unfolded. While the book provides a live history of the eurozone, it also offers possible solutions for Europe’s future.

Mody is Charles and Marie Robertson Visiting Professor in International Economic Policy at Princeton University (external link)’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

The PROSE Awards annually recognize the best in professional and scholarly publishing by bringing attention to distinguished books, journals, and electronic content in 58 categories. It has been judged by peer publishers, librarians, and medical professionals since 1976.

Mody will be recognized Feb. 7 at the Association of American Publishers’ Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.
