União Europeia: Os Avisos de Milton Friedman
O Prémio Nóbel da Economia, Milton Friedman, lançou uma série de avisos aos países europeus:
Euro
"there is a strong possibility that the euro zone could collapse in the next few years because differences are accumulating between countries ... I'm not saying it is a certainty, just that it is a strong possibility".
He suggests that the euro could be replaced with the old national currencies.
Agenda de Lisboa
"No I do not think that the EU can catch up with the US by 2010. It is a nice dream, a good hope and I wish them well, the world would benefit".
"But I think the chances of achieving it are very slim. The rest of the world is not going to stand still. India is not going to stand still, China is not going to stand still and the US is not going to stand still".
Sobreregulamentação e Potencial de Crescimento
"There is no doubt what the EU should do. Abolish your rules and regulations. Abolish your [high level of] spending. The European economy is too burdened with rules and regulations".
"There is nothing wrong with the basic strength of the individual countries. But they have burdened themselves with a range of rules that strangle their economies"

"A society that does not recognize that each individual has values of his own which he is entitled to follow can have no respect for the dignity of the individual and cannot really know freedom."
