Charlemagne Hobbling behind America
EUROPEANS like to blame America for their crisis. But look at the numbers, and it is plain the euro zone has mishandled its response. Take growth: output in America has surpassed its pre-crisis peak and is growing; the euro zone has yet to make up the lost ground and is shrinking. Or joblessness: it stood at 10% on both sides of the Atlantic in 2009, but it has now fallen below 8% in America ...
