Paul Sweeney: With all the events happening in Europe and the lack of leadership by the Prime Ministers, Finance Ministers, the economic Commissioner s of the Union itself and most of all from the unelected leaders (laggards?) of the ECB, it is refreshing to read a view that gives some ideas on leadership.
Paul De Grauwe, formerly of Leuven University and now of LSE, has been on top of comment and in my opinion, sound solutions for the past three or four years of the crisis.
This is a well-written, clear and concise viewpoint, well worth reading in full.
