In this article we question the conception of financial integration supported by the Eurosystem. We show, first, that the actions undertaken to create a homogeneous financial space in Europe failed to ensure convergence of the national financial behaviors & systems. Then we try to explain these persistent heterogeneities by the diversity of economic & social models prevailing in the different European countries. Lastly we compare the consequences of financial liberalization & globalization in Germany & in France. Observations point very different macroeconomic evolutions in these countries, which is challenging for the viability of the monetary union. Adapted from the source document.
