As the Euro Turns 20, a Look Back at Who Fared the Best. And Worst

Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, once likened the euro to a bumblebee—a “mystery of nature” that shouldn’t be able to fly, but somehow does.

Draghi used this metaphor at the height of the tumultuous Greek debt crisis in 2012, when many wondered if the demise of Europe’s single currency was imminent.

Now, two decades after its birth, the euro has taken flight and, by some measures, has even soared. Membership has grown to 19 countries from the original 11, and the size of the euro-area economy has swelled by 72 percent to 11.2 trillion euros ($12.8 trillion), second only to that of the U.S. and positioning the European Union as a global force to be reckoned with.

I suggest people follow your link back to the article - to see what it really had to say :sunglasses:

Here’s another perspective from persons of integrity and ability

The great deception

I love point and counterpoint!
Living in the USA and not bashing the USA but commenting on the politics of publicity I don’t think we ever really know what is happening since Bretton Woods because we just don’t have all the facts.

Thus what we really have to look at is what is the result of the action.
