Euro Currency: A Breakup Is Going To Be A Mess

If you can't either devalue the euro to a real depreciation, inflate yourself, or grow yourself out of this problem, or deflation is not going work, the only solution is going to be to give up the euro and go to a national currency.

But if enough of those countries do that, the collateral damage in terms of losses to the creditors is going to be massive. So a breakup is going to be a mess. - in CNN

EU: Without A Much Easier Monetary Policy...

Without a much easier monetary policy and a less front-loaded mode of fiscal austerity, the euro will not weaken, external competitiveness will not be restored, and the recession will deepen. And, without resumption of growth – not years down the line, but in 2012 – the stock and flow imbalances will become even more unsustainable.
