The EMU Crisis is a Battle of Nationalism Versus Transnationalism, not Economic Prescriptions

Περίληψη Νομίζαμε ότι οι δαίμονες είχαν συνετιστεί: μετά τη χρηματοπιστωτική κρίση του 2008, τα κράτη είχαν ξαναπάρει το πάνω χέρι έναντι των χρηματοπιστωτικών αγορών· για χάρη του ευρώ, οι Ευρωπαίοι είχαν ενταφιάσει τον εθνικό εγωισμό· μπροστά σε χειρότερα πλήγματα, οι υπεύθυνοι της οικονομικής πολιτικής ήξεραν πώς να απαντήσουν και να αποτρέψουν …Read More

Europe’s three dimensional crisis
Brown, Gordon, (2012), ‘Europe’s three dimensional crisis’, www.guardian.co.uk, 28 Ιανουαρίου. In the rush to define Europe’s problems as fiscal, our deep-seated banking and competitiveness problems have been largely ignored. In the search for a simple, one-dimensional answer – austerity and, if that fails, more austerity – to what is a three-dimensional crisis, Europe’s leaders are failing to grasp the profound historical forces now reshaping Europe’s role in the world.
