Blog break

04/06/2012 by

It is bad timing, I know, but this blog is going off the air for a couple of months. The economic crisis, which has been the dominant theme of the posts since I started writing for Social Europe in Autumn 2009, continues. Specifically, the euro-area crisis now appears to be reaching a climax (although we have thought that before).

But I have to focus on other things for a while. I will pick up the thread again in August. In the meantime keep reading the other great commentators on economic policy and European issues on the Social Europe website! And don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers!
