``... what has happened is that the European Union has been stripped back to its essence as a neoliberal economic project. Gone are the pretences of internationalism or a social element -- the Greek crisis has demonstrated that bonds of solidarity stretch only as far as is profitable... These arrangements provided the foundation for the euro -- a currency which was to drive the stake of neoliberalism into the heart of the European Union. The money in our pockets is the most right-wing currency ever designed, with a central bank that doesn't care about unemployment and won't act as a lender of last resort, modelled to work only in the free-market utopias predicted to arrive at Francis Fukuyama's end of history.''
