Crise na zona euro: 'keep it going against the interests of the people'

Sugestão de leitura “Eurozone break-up edges even closer” por Wolfgang Munchau. Um pequeno excerto:

“(…) If austerity in the south had at least been compensated by fiscal expansion in the north, the overall fiscal stance of the eurozone would have been macroeconomically neutral.

Without that, there can be no solution to the crisis.
