economists (bless their pointy heads) would call this a “downwards harmonization,” not an invasion.
idea: let economists mess with europe for another decade just to see what happens!
then watch and learn!
this is like your neighbor eating only macdonalds food for a year. a great science experiment (especially if it occurs in an area where the impact is not direct and immediate, and there may actually be a long term net benefit).
Letting economists or anyone else ‘mess with Europe’ for another decade won’t help the world situation. But then, what can we do to make the Euros buck up and protect their own countries and culture and, by extension, the rest of us? Nothing really....
