The lesson to be drawn from the Greek debacle is that the eurozone must develop sovereign insolvency procedures as quickly as possible, thereby preventing other sovereigns from becoming creditors through debt mutualization. If the European Union’s national governments want to help one another in a crisis, they should unilaterally provide humanitarian aid, without conditionality and without redemption.
从希腊危机中我们可以汲取一个教训：欧元区必须尽快制定主权破产流程，从而防止其他主权主体通过债务共同化变成债权人。如果欧盟国家政府想在危机中互相帮助，就应该单方面提供人道主义援助，不设条件、不计回报。如果你借钱给你的朋友，你们的友谊也走到了尽头。除非认识到这一智慧，否则欧洲就不可能统一起来。
