More generous support for countries in trouble is essential, because the euro must be preserved (albeit not necessarily on the base of a larger eurozone).

Some are recalcitrant and are more than willing to see the euro rise because, with rate hikes off the table, the strong euro may be the only way left for fighting the incipient inflation they fear.

When the weak euro reduces the heavily indebted countries production costs by 20 25 , they can rejoin the hard euro if they accept fiscal reforms that are subject to approval by the European Commission (and thus by the hard euro creditor countries).

With deflating housing bubbles, high oil prices, and a strong euro already impeding growth, the ECB is virtually ensuring a sharp euro zone slowdown.

Mighty.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel doesn t make speeches attacking the strong euro and the European Central Bank s price stability mandate.

The strong euro has helped insulate Europe from skyrocketing oil and commodity prices, which are priced in dollars on the world markets.

Where's the mighty Crassus?

The tough guy of Rome?

You're the only man around here who's that strong.

This is not true for France 45 45 but the answer is obvious reduce costs and France too will be able to cope with the strong euro.

Moving on From the Euro

Eurodämmerung

I am Oz the great and powerful!

He's going to have a basin of beautiful, strong broth, sir.

And I'll make you most welcome.

Hey, strong man, don't I know you?

That wasn't a very strong motive.

Sometimes the strong just roll over the weak.

We all expect that the euro, which proved to be such an asset during the crisis, will be just as effective in getting our economies back on the path to vigorous, sustainable growth.

He consistently blamed France s poor export performance on the strong euro, favoring a politically subservient ECB whose mandate should include economic growth as well as price stability.

German exports are not being substantially damaged by the strong euro indeed, German costs are so competitive that exporters are confident they can cope with the euro at 1.50 dollars and even higher.

The great and powerful Oz knows why you have come.

Give me the healthy Joe from ages ago

He enjoys bending iron bars with his beautiful body.

Whereas electorates across the European Union have punished their governments for the Great Recession and the euro crisis, Germans reelected Chancellor Angela Merkel and displayed strong support for her party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), in the recent election.

A Euro Sabbatical

Third, there is the euro.

Farewell to the Euro?

Germany versus the Euro

Rebuilding Euro Governance

The Euro s Crisis of Democracy

The Euro s Imagined Community

The Euro s PIG Headed Masters

The Euro s House Divided

The Euro on the Mend

These are all Euros.

Euros from it.

Dialogue means tolerance. It does not mean the powerful imposing their will on the weak it means listening to others. That way, the weak and the vulnerable will feel that the powerful do listen to them, and the powerful will feel the obligation to explain and justify their position to others.

Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.

Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
