Hi -- can anyone recommend where I can go online to read a good, thorough, historical analysis of the financial crisis in Europe? I'm not trained in economics so I'd need something intended for the layperson. I know the standard right-wing perspectives and have been seeing it everywhere in the mainstream media, and I just read Paul Krugman's rebuttal of some of those claims in Friday's NYT, but I don't know where to get a solid, complete left-wing analysis. Krugman suggests that a big part of the problem is the inability of the Eurozone countries to borrow in their own currency or print their own money, but I know there's more to it than that.
