My field is development economics ... (4.00 / 2)
... a lot of countries have tried this trick of keeping a strong currency on the back of a weakening economy, and it does not usually end up well.


I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

What do you make of the arguments that a strong Euro is going to kill the Italian economy?

Maybe Italy should do some structural changes in its economy instead?

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

What Coleman said ... (none / 1)

Of course, whether it will or not, that is always an open question, but I reckon it can be done.
