Following Barroso’s State of the EU speech, we thought it useful to reflect on the true state of the EU. Nigel Farage’s recent tirade slamming “Communist” Barroso’s pro-bureaucrat policies are poignant as he exclaims the “disaster” that the EU has become for the poor and unemployed. To further color this rant we note Charles Gavekal’s recent note on why Europe’s still broken as worthless IOUs are ‘transferred’ around the union and “no one really knows who is going to take the final loss.” Perhaps it is The Hamiltonian’s summary of the structural problem (an interlocking set of European political, bureaucratic, media, academic and financial elites) and the sad fact that history suggests a crisis deferred is a crisis magnified.
