Doomed! - The worst shock to the European economy is yet to happen

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostYou may be right. Frankly I think it'll be better to accept that Greece will need to be subsidised by the rest of Europe just to maintain a stable state that doesn't decline into anarchy and then a military or nationalist coup, and explain that to the masses. There's hope for Italy because despite the mess that is the Italian government, they have some outstanding businesses, especially SMEs. Spain and Portugal; dunno.
I suspect the PIIGS governments joined the Euro because they thought it was a cheap ticket into the Deutschmark. Actually it was a cheap ticket out of the Deutschmark for Germany.
The solution to the Euro crisis is not for Greece to leave the Euro, but for Germany to leave it.Job motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid.Comment

If it's any consolation, China are really feeling the pinch too :
China's economy has slowed for a seventh quarter as problems in Europe and the US hurt demand for its goods.
The annual rate of growth was 7.4% in the third quarter, down from 7.6% in the previous three months.
However, there were signs that the world's second-biggest economy was now stabilising and rebounding.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
