It's he political union that's doing damage to strong nations. Once you tie yourself politically to the lower half of this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financ...y_GDP_(nominal) decisions are made that hold back the stronger nations.

The Euro is a great example of why a political union set on uniting Europe at any cost is a crazy idea. On paper it's great to have a single currency in countries like Germany, France, Holland, etc. But give it to Greece, Portugal, Italy, etc and then have no central control is madness. The results are here https://www.statista.com/statistics/...c-product-gdp/

A currency has to be controlled by a central power. But in their belief in uniting Europe they ignored that and went down the wrong route.
Well, there was an idea to have 2 euroes - one for countries which are in good condition and second for crappy economy conditions where value which will be lower then first euro version, and i think that's good idea but as it opposes the unity idea it will never pass which kind a suck.So , if you would want to have strong euro version, then you will need to have strong economy first.
