I agree (after taking out the superfluous apostrophe in your subject line). Tom Send a noteboard - 10/09/2011 05:46:45 PM
I think that ultimately "a euro" will survive, but not "the euro" as it exists now. It will likely be the result of a Germanic monetary union that France might get invited to join but that will definitely be off limits for the PIIGS (and probably several of the more recent euro converts). Of course, this will probably mean the entire EU will be restructured, and so I expect you'll see various layers of participation (with Germany ultimately calling the shots - the French have lost their pre-eminency in the EU and are unlikely to ever regain it).

It's not all that surprising, either. As early as before World War I it was clear that Germany was going to dominate Europe economically if it ever stopped trying to dominate it militarily. Deutschland über alles!
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

And Italy, and the euro is going to collapse. It's up to 0.73 eurocents to the dollar. - 10/09/2011 01:14:08 AM 582 Views
The euro certainly is not going to survive in it's current form. - 10/09/2011 11:04:48 AM 698 Views
