Talvez ele prefira uma "self-sustaining expediture", como parecem preferir quase todos os economistas desse clube, esquecendo-se de examinar quem vai pagar a festa. Para ele, o euro não vai se salvar porque existem obstáculos políticos e ideológicos enormes, que certamente ele atribui à tal de austeridade. Ele só não diz como é que conseguiram restabelecer o equilíbrio fiscal Espanha e Portugal, e como a Grécia se safou do abismo (talvez ele prefira que os alemães continuem sustentando os anti-austeridade.

Dear reader
we would like to draw your attention to a new publication by our partners from Polity Press.
The economies of the Eurozone countries are plagued by multiple crises, which cast major doubts over the future of the Euro. In this engaging new book, leading heterodox economist Malcolm Sawyer argues that the entire policy framework of the Eurozone was fundamentally flawed from its foundation. He shows how these ‘design faults’ intensified the effects of the crisis, made an effective response to the crash almost impossible, and are now locking in perpetual self-defeating austerity.
Sawyer proposes a bold alternative agenda for reviving the continent’s economic prosperity and saving the Euro, centred on a Federal fiscal policy and deep reform of the European Central Bank. He argues, however, that these solutions would require a fundamental transformation that is almost certain to encounter huge ideological and political obstacles. He therefore concludes that Europe faces a bleak economic future, blighted by low growth, high unemployment and social division.
This major contribution to one of the key economic and political issues of our time will be essential reading for everyone interested in Europe’s future.
