Europe on the Brink -- A WSJ Documentary

Tha outlook for the European project and hence the € are awful for ordinary citizens trapped in what is demonstrably a failed system. The likes of Junker and his types are in denial and need urgently to accept reform or run the risk of a huge European backlash. The UK is the start, Italy will likely follow and then the Dutch and French. I would add that Germany has risks too! A worrying world indeed!

The proverbial house of cards of fiat currencies not based on real weath. The dollar is not immune either

Angela Merkel is the biggest shill of them all for this integrated Europe nonsense - and yet she can't even be bothered to learn any other language besides German.

21ST CENTURY IS ALL ASIA BOOM.....EUROPE IS FINISHED LIKE THE ROMANS....YOU CAN BEAT CHEAP MANUFACTURING FROM ASIA...AND ASIANS HAVE NO WELFARE....TRY AND COMPETE WITH THEM....

GREEKS WILL BAIL OUT THE REST OF EUROPE,,,,THEY GOT NEW PRINTING MACHINES

britain has same mindset as USA and they see things different from EU

u can try harder EU never will fall apart !!!! impossible

Iceland will pay the country debts down to 30 % in 2021 storry its diffrent In Greece !. I Belive Thats.Countries had misunderstand the matter of joing The Europe And Have The Euro As The Currency Just Dirty Banks who Did Just Want A Loan And Loan And Then The Bubble Explosed !.

I hope The UK gets out of this European Union. Obama wants us trapped in this shite? Wanker. VoteLeave.

1. lend money to a welfare state.
2. be shocked that its a poor investment.
3. demand the German worker pay for this.

Yes there are a few things that you americans did correct however... you shzre a debt per person of 56,605.42 dollars and you are the 3rd most populous country in the world. You have a total of around 16,300,000,000,000 and by the end of this financial year according to 5 online sources you will have over 21.6 trillion dollars. There is no way we should follow in your footstep , even the European countries in the Euro arent doing that bad. This is over exaggerated to make you other continents believe all we do is riot, it is still safe to go around all european countries unless you carry the greek flag in Germany or vice versa lol.

Wecan trade and move freely around all european contries jf you look at the recent british election there was a person called Nigel Farrage who got 12%of all votes but only one seat in parliment (you dont have the exact same as us so you may have to learn). And now in a conservative government all moneysorts have increased and more polish people have come over to do cheap work and earn a living doing what isnt wanted by most people allowing the 2nd world EU countries to work in the 1st world ones and help so much.

We have a "special relationship" because we are good strong allies rather than similar , you havent been on our soil for 200 years and you miss our accents :)

... and it ends with the welfare state, of all things, being the main problem?! Not irresponsible bank lending and deregulated financial markets? LOL!

What has been done in 3 years? Exactly.

Like our EU-Commission said today, one you're part of the euro zone, you can't get kicked out. >>> Greece will stay in the euro zone even with another government

End of 2014 and EU is still here. The only major problem is that a war in going in the Ukraine

Americans making documentary on how other people should fix their economy?? Europe is not a real union,it maybe never will be,only time will tell,but i know for certain America has more problems than Europe,so they should look for the way to repair their own first,or they will fall behind just like any other superpower.and the only reason that there are no riots in America,is that they are too stupid to believe that they live in a democracy,or too scared to deal with the fact that they were lied to all their lives.And they now think that banks are own by government,and that the government is trying to secure that people in america live better.you should watch more closely and you will find the truth

This is really biased, I would not go as far as calling it American propaganda but the amount of americans discussing europe seems a bit weird to me. I also really like the part where one of the interviewed ones call europe's weakness the lack of decision making, when in America every move by the president is countered by the house due to their political system. Please don't go on the internet waving the stars and stripes around without reconsideration.

lol !!! the european crise may infest the world??! let's not forget who started this financial meltdown in 2007
