Cena majestuosa en Lucas Carton, pagada por el presidente de un banco francés que nos cuenta en off horrores del euro y la economía española.

Entre los happy few, eran mayoritarios los anglosajones. De ahí, quizá, que nuestro anfitrión nos felicitase el año nuevo diciendo cosas de este tipo:

“The politicians in Italy and Spain do not seem to realise how deep-rooted their problems are. We think the markets will force them to take action. They may have to cut real wages, and this could be unpleasant” [ .. ] “These countries will want higher inflation in Germany to get them off the hook, but I doubt Germany is ready to do that. This is going to create friction within the eurozone. Euro weakness will be the inevitable result.”
