Neither In Nor Out - Towards a socio-economic community of European peoples - Light on a Dark Mountain - Medium

One of the pillars of the dominating troika system in the European Union is the threat that, for any country that leaves the euro system, they will find their substitute currency devalued, thus affecting the savings of the middle classes in those counties.
