Rip, you have aided my understanding of the euro debacle to a far greater extent than any academic economist has done uptil now. Thank you
Just one question, do you really see either Germany or Finland leaving voluntarily? Considering what's at stake for the Germans and how bad it would look for those Finnish politicians who spent considerable time and energy convincing the people to embrace the euro? Will they risk the public fallout?
Admitting they were wrong all along would be political suicide, ending their careers effectively.

The majority lies in wait like a pack of blood thirsty wolves, ready to pounce on anyone man enough to admit he/she was wrong.
