@jonsindreu that obviously a bit part of my beef with Streeck. your excellent point cuts both ways.

@jonsindreu could not agree more!

@jonsindreu now … given where we have ended up the big question is what would be the political and economic costs of breakup? ENORMOUS imho

@jonsindreu As historian I’m deeply interested in HOW it got messed up what nature of drivers was and how discourse operates around that.

@jonsindreu Ill happily admit (can’t speak for @MESandbu) that it EZ has huge problems so long as you admit that those are political!

@GrkStav in purely political terms tusk may even be right about tsipras.hollande tusk renzi all "dead". He and Merkel survive! Sort of …

@GrkStav after all that, we HAVE to be pragmatic! no emotion. No issues of pride or respect. Amazing double-think.
