Re: Perma-slump and Project (4.00 / 4)
This is true, but it doesn't invalidate the criticism. Whether France pulls the plug or not, the EU is heading for the cliff-edge.

And from the point of view of a pro-European, it seems to me highly desirable that France stand up and lead the struggle to redefine the whole small-p project. It might still be possible to reach a positive outcome, but it's hard to see that happening without a change in French attitudes.

And a change in Italian attitudes, too...

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman

Redefine? (none / 1)
Ah, so you're also in favour of fair and balanced sustainable reform. At least everyone is on the same page here.

Go back to pre-Maastricht and start again. Either without a single currency, or with one that can work, ie within a fiscal transfer union.
