14.10 Oh, the schadenfreude! US economist Nouriel Roubini has reposted a 2006 blog he wrote with a prediction that Italy and other countries on the eurozone “periphery” would have to leave the bloc within five years. He told a Davos audience:
Economic performance divergence is a serious problem for some EMU countries (Italy, Portugal, Greece) and it may eventually lead to a collapse of EMU [European monetary union].
Yet more startling, perhaps, was the reaction of Mario Tremonti, Italy’s current finance minister, who interrupted, shouting “Go back to Turkey!” (Mr Roubini was born in Istanbul.)
Praticamente questo Economista Statunitense (nato a Istanbul) nel 2006 aveva piu o meno previsto questa situazione di Italia Grecia e Portogallo, la reazione di Tremonti fu "Tornatene in Turchia"
