I hope this might make the Grand Planners of the Euro experiment take stock and try a different tack.
For example, rather than plan for convergence between very different countries, why not plan for convergence between sensible blocs of countries.
e.g there could be a Northern Bloc, Southern and Eastern which, over time could be converged. EU convergence worked when it was 7 or 8 largely similar countries but the recent acquisitions has destabilized the whole thing. I think thats what the herd subconsciously felt.
