Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro. And believe me, it will be enough — Mario Draghi, European Central Bank
Take a look at the cover of this week’s Economist. Could this be the inflection point? Structurally? We doubt it. Policy inflection point? Maybe. The markets sure seem to think so.

Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor implied. If you could repeat previously discredited memes or steer the conversation into irrelevant, off topic discussions, it would be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.
