Oho -- *that* Connolly. Yep, that was one truly crappy book, even by the admittedly low standards of publications claiming to deal with the European Union. I've concluded the only thing worse than the Anglo-Saxon media coverage of the EU is its coverage of Japan. Ironic, that Anglo-American rentiers who constantly preen themselves on being the Masters of the Universe should display such *hatred* towards their class superiors. Given the state of the US current account deficit, you'd think they would want to avoid pissing off Duisenberg & Co. for as long as possible. Geopolitical stupidity goeth before a currency fall...
