Comments on: It’s Groundhog Day for saving the euro zone http://blogs.reuters.com/ian-bremmer/2012/05/29/it%e2%80%99s-groundhog-day-for-saving-the-euro-zone/ Tue, 14 May 2013 12:43:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Labandeira http://blogs.reuters.com/ian-bremmer/2012/05/29/it%e2%80%99s-groundhog-day-for-saving-the-euro-zone/#comment-394 Labandeira Thu, 31 May 2012 09:11:34 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/ian-bremmer/?p=369#comment-394 Ian, You say 'It looks like the eurozone continues to be in the right path'! Well, i quess that would be correct of you consider the goal to be the desintegration of the euro. Large segments of the European banking system, and with it entire countries, are on a treadmill to systemic collapse within months, if not weeks. Your article's tone of normalcy, regrettably, is completely misplaced. Ian,
You say ‘It looks like the eurozone continues to be in the right path’! Well, i quess that would be correct of you consider the goal to be the desintegration of the euro.

A wiser approach would be a single international hand that acts as one on a single global economy. ZGHerm above seems to have gotten the point clearly. I hope that the European leadership, and world leadership, start to get it too -- an soon. Same old, same old is not the path to a thoroughbred or a race car, but rather to the glue factory or junk yard. We are trying to catch a water balloon with a bunch of pins. A wiser approach would be a single international hand that acts as one on a single global economy.

ZGHerm above seems to have gotten the point clearly. I hope that the European leadership, and world leadership, start to get it too — an soon.

Einstein once said, “You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew.” At the moment all the leaders, experts stubbornly try to use the same approach, methods, the same framework that brought us this crisis. Our whole socio-economic system has exhausted itself and became unsustainable, this is what it means we are in a global crisis, more precisely in a system failure. Unless we rise above this mess, into a mutual, cooperative, truly supra-national place as the global, integral and interdependent world requires us, we will not be able to move forward, we will continue to sink deeper and the dominoes will start falling one after the other, and not only in Europe, but all over the globe as we are all sitting on the same boat. I am not sure I share the writer’s optimism.
