Euroland

Just before they set off for Euroland, we sat down with the trio to discuss quitting their jobs, overcoming phobias, and the dreaded "nul points".

"A look at the Sentix data of the largest economy then clearly shows that the cause of the misery in Euroland is probably linked to the weakness of the German economy," it said.

“So far, Euroland banks are not facing a credit squeeze or liquidity demand in the wake of lockdown and quarantine policies — first in China and now in Europe as well,” economist Carl Weinberg of High Frequency Economics wrote this week.

“Euroland is headed for a recession,” Carl Weinberg, the chief international economist at High Frequency Economics, a research consulting firm in White Plains, N.Y., said in an email Friday.

If it wants to survive, the euro zone now has to become Euroland: something much more like a federal state, or a quasi-state, or anyway an entity that shares more than the same bills and coins.
