For those of you who are wonkishly inclined and interested in the prospects for the EU, you might want to check out this on VoxEu.org. It’s by Martin Feldstein, a noted skeptic on the viablilty of the euro.
Feldstein corrects some misconceptions concerning his earlier comments about the euro and reprises the basis for his skepticism. He ends by offering his analysis of the possibility of one or more countries withdrawing due to the current economic crisis. It is a very readable, good and balanced discussion.
