"The whole premise of the Euro is unique in the modern world. Normally, a new currency is created after some sort of political unification. But, the Euro's key purpose is to promote political unification. With everyone using the same money, political harmony will follow. Yes, trade within the Euro zone will be easier without having to deal with exchange rates and bank fees. But, the Euro is above all else a political statement rather than simply a medium of exchange.
With the switchover to the Euro for everyday business, the point was driven home to hundreds of millions of European citizens. Hey, this European business is really serious. It's not just about grabbing subsidies and watching political bigwigs parade in front of the cameras.
The obvious fact is this. Who controls the money controls everything."
Thought it was funny.
