Discussing the future of the Euro on Europe Day
There seems to be a day for everything these days even the European Union. Today is also Ascension day which seems fitting after the EU won the Nobel Peace Prize for not waging war among each other for nearly 70 years.
Of course not all is well in Europe. Following Hayek’s birthday, yesterday, many EU politicians could do with a read of Hayek’s “Road to Serfdom” and “The Use of Knowledge in Society” (both available for free).
I will be educating myself at Hayek’s Think Tank, The Institute of Economic Affairs this evening. The question will be:
Was the euro a mistake… and does it have a future?
What are your thoughts? I will give my thoughts tomorrow.
