Flashermac Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 So why not just have done and replace the Euro with the Deutsche Mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardKing Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 was the Euro a good idea or a bad one? Discuss... Yes! Unequivocally! Oh no! Bad fuckin' idea. Too limiting to monetary policy for many different countries. As we are seeing now. They cannot make the corrections needed independently. A disaster.

simie Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 And of course thats exactly whats happened in Ireland a vastly overinflated property market and badly run banks and the government powerless to make the required corrections due to the constraints of the single currency.

Old Hippie Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 What would it take for a country to get off the Euro and go back to it's own currency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simie Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 OH, very good question? would'nt know myself but I'm sure large percentages of the populations of many Eurozone countries would like too. But not of course the incompotent politicians and greedy expense account civil servants who got them into it! Simie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
