The article simply quotes two former important European policy-makers. The impact is truly stunning.
On the positive side, I believe that the current teams at the European Commission and the European Central Bank truly understand the magnitude of the risks and how to effectively mitigate. Unfortunately, the politicians and Germany’s Constitutional Court may become roadblocks.
As has been highlighted many times on this blog, the political leaders are light on strategy and strong on political quick fixes.
Unless Europe follows a radical strategy, the Euro must be dismantled, causing uncharted levels of economic, social and political pain.
