It was better to create the euro sooner rather than later, with the relevant reforms and institutions to follow. At the slight risk of overgeneralization, one can say that the first camp was made up mainly of northern Europeans, while the second was dominated by the south.
而另一流派的观点则截然相反，他们担心现有的货币制度僵硬，脆弱而且容易出现危机。欧洲已经没有时间去等待体制构建程序一步步推进。最好是尽快创立欧元，然后相关的改革和体制继续跟进。如果冒着过度概括的微小风险的话，我们可以说第一个阵营主要由北欧人组成，而第二个阵营则是南欧人做主角。
