Brexit

[Muddy Retriever]

Have you read any of the comments at the bottom of that article? To say he is getting a ringing endorsment of his view would be a stretch.

I have read his article in full. I think it is very damning. If you can read it and not think so then I'm staggered. The comment just below the headline says it all really about the euro.

"It was supposed to bring shared prosperity, but instead it has slowed growth and sown discord"

Don't you think it is interesting that in 2000 the US economy was 13% larger than the eurozone but by 2016 it was 26% bigger? He also confirms my point about Italian growth (or lack of) since euro inception.

Then there is the other article I linked by Paul Krugman. He is a nobel prize winning economist. I thought you might like him because he is left of centre in his leanings. He lists a number of countries that have struggled with the euro and says:

"What all of these economies have in common, however, is that by joining the eurozone they put themselves into an economic straitjacket."
