the euro disaster, which has only further increased the divergences between the European economies, also has something very interesting apart from the socio-economic side: anyone traveling in Europe can experience the incredible regional and cultural differences that have existed for decades. I myself have just been traveling in Greece again, live in Spain and come from Germany and also enjoy the regional differences. However, this does not mean that the south of the eurozone in particular should be locked into a currency construct like the euro with the north, and that these economies should be bled dry. That is unethical!

That is very interesting. Ireland is one of the bigger ones.
