I agree Peter. I think the insight of economist, David McWiliams in the Der Spiegel article posted by Jan above, is chillingly accurate:
But I think Europe will end up dangling from the gallows.
And "they" deserve it too.
But then, of course, "they" will actually be safe and comfortable spending their accrued dirty wealth in some distant gated community basking in a warm climate, while it will be the citizens of Europe who will have to pick up the yoke in their name.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort.
