But for purposes focusing on the productive sector of the economy, the case for treating individual EU members as distinct national economies is at the very least arguable.

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

Quite ... if its conceded that only the Eurozone can act as a loose confederal national economy with respect to the weakest of the policy tools to address a business cycle downturn, the fact that the whole EU is a loose confederal national economy for all of the strongest policy tools to address a business cycle downturn also bears noting.
