You can bet that these "economists" work for a right wing think tank.

So the lesson we're taking away from this is that more countries should emulate Germany's political and social reforms? Mandatory health insurance under strict Gvt. oversight, employee representatives on boards of directors, freeways with no speed limits, not moving every last bit of production overseas?

I'll take the "freeways with no speed limits".

Don't know but as a centre right voter I reckon the €uro will weather this storm. In fact the current crises will lead to greater cohesion and fraternity.

I don't see the cohesion part. The Germans are getting the dirty end of the stick being pulled down by these weaker countries. They'll want out of the Euro soon. Then it will go away.

I see the opposite happening. I see the "PIIGS" ceding a measure of control over their finances and economies to the ECB and the EU (i.e Germany/Benelux/France) in return for the benefits of a strong currency and a direct link to the economies of northern Europe. What I see coming out of this is another step towards a united Europe at least in economic terms.
