Bernard Connolly is an Oxford-educated British economist from a working-class background〔 noted for his pessimistic analysis of the euro. After writing ''The Rotten Heart of Europe: The Dirty War for Europe's Money'', a negative treatment of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, he was terminated in 1995 from his employment at the European Commission. An appeal of his dismissal to the European Court of Justice was unsuccessful. As of 2011, Connolly, 61, was working as a financial consultant in New York City. As of early 2013 he continues to have a negative view on the euro. Bernard Connolly heads Connolly Insight LP and participates in Hamiltonian Associates. He previously worked 11 years for AIG, where he gained a reputation for insightful global economic analysis with hedge funds and investors following his advice making substantial money trading on the economic weakness of troubled European economies such as Greece.〔 Previously he worked with the European Commission on monetary policy and before that for the Confederation of British Industry. Prior to establishing CI, Bernard had spent 11 years as the global strategist for Banque AIG and AIG Trading - a platform that enabled him to distinguish himself as a thoughtful, insightful and independent economic thinker. In so doing Bernard's analysis became a "must read" not just for leading market participants, but also for a large number of top policymakers. Before joining AIG Bernard had spent a number of years working with the European Commission in Brussels, where he was head of the unit responsible for the European Monetary System and monetary policies. While at the Commission Bernard was a Member of the Monetary Policy and Foreign Exchange Policy sub-committees of the Committee of Central bank Governors and was on the OECD Group of High-Level Monetary Experts. Prior to that Bernard worked in the Industrial Trends and Forecasting Unit of the Confederation of British Industry. Bernard is the author of the acclaimed and best selling book, "The Rotten Heart of Europe: the Dirty War for Europe's Money" - a work that foresaw many of the consequences and pitfalls of European monetary union that have only recently become apparent to many. Indeed, in somewhat prophetic comments, William Rees-Mogg noted the striking resemblance of the book to Keynes' Economic Consequences of the Peace, a book that Rees-Mogg considered changed the view of a whole generation. The publication of the Rotten Heart of Europe led the Wall Street Journal Europe to name Bernard as one of its outstanding Europeans of the year in 1995 and in March 2001 he received the Frøde Jakobsen prize, awarded in Denmark for outstanding moral courage in public affairs. More recently, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney has identified Bernard as one of the very few economists who predicted the current global economic and financial crisis. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bernard Connolly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
