Europe’s financial crisis has not only wreaked economic havoc, it has also raised questions about whether a common currency is viable with states as diverse as debt-laden Greece and powerhouse Germany. For now, the 17 countries that make up the eurozone appear willing to stick to the wreck, but investors have so far seemed lukewarm on the European Union’s proposed solutions to the two-year crisis. Hundreds of billions of euros have already been spent bailing out Greece, Portugal, and Ireland; Italy, a much bigger economy, is on shaky ground.
Robert Marquand, our Paris bureau chief, covered the crisis with Michael Steininger (Germany), Andrés Cala (Spain), and Jason Walsh (Ireland).
