Any meaningful progress toward stabilizing the eurozone would require a significant – potentially open-ended – financial commitment, and the EU is not politically ready to cross that threshold. Repeatedly pretending to move forward, then pulling back at the critical point, exacerbates political uncertainty and economic vulnerability.
或许高克走的还不够远：目前前所未有地紧密的联盟可能是一场政治婚姻。任何有让欧元区更稳定的有意义的进步都需要重大——从根本上说是开放——的财政承诺，而欧盟还没有做好跨越之一门槛的政治准备。一再地假装前进，然后又在临界点退缩，这增加了政治不确定性和经济脆弱性。
