Thanks, you have added to my understanding of this stuff. I'm an accountant, not an economist, so the advent of the euro (except for my sentimental respect for the British pound, and before the euro, the German DM) had always seemed to me to be a good idea-- at least until I finished Margaret Thatcher's new book "Statecraft".

This graph also would be more honest and less dramatic if properly zero based.

I agree on the drama, but using a computer screen of limited resolution, I think that a non-zero Y-axis graph provides a lot more detail, and can be more informative.
