Europe sets itself behind
-
The Euro currency is like what Cao Cao did about 2000 years ago during his battle at the Red Cliff against Sun Quan / Zhou Yu.
Cao Cao chained all his battle ships thinking it was stable. Europe united all its currencies into Euro thinking it is stable.
One of Cao Cao's ship caught fire and when the wind blew, his whole formation was wiped out. Greece caught fire, Europe's political and monetary union might dis-integrate.
Why people never learn from history?
-
nice history lessons and simile.

Was Europe mistaken in not appreciating the mistakes of Cao Cao's strategy ?
Tying the ships together and not knowing how to isolate the fire when one ship got burnt may not necessary negate the principle of collective strength.
A single bamboo chopstick can be easily snapped, while it is harder to break a bunch of bamboo chopsticks tied together.
It takes the collective responsibility from each member to ensure that the collective unity remains viably strong, and not to be tempted to take advantage of this strenght to go into one's excessive ways to bankrupt the idea.
From the experience gained through the financial crisis in 1997 and the more recent ones during 2004 and 2008-09 - even the various ASEAN countries have also toyed around with the idea of a common currency market.

Euro and Cao Cao...ha ha ha what a joke. Asian as a conservative economy will not be as enlighten as the likes of Brit, German and France to help fellow continent states. These countries believes that by help the neighbourers to prosper, they will gain from it, therefore, there is no issue about a Single Euro, and Europe will standby it be it fall or rise.
How on earth can Asian currency come together when Singapore govt refused to show their net worth and accounting statement???
