The real crisis of the EU and the monetary union is not financial but political – or, more precisely, it is a leadership crisis. A lack of vision, courage, and strength of purpose is on display in all European capitals, but especially so in Berlin (and on the part of government and opposition alike).
欧盟及货币联盟的真正危机与其说来自金融还不如说源于政治——或者更确切地讲本质是一场领导危机。以柏林（政府和反对党都包括在内）为首的欧洲各国首都都缺乏远见、勇气和坚强的意志。
