”As the second largest economy in the euro zone, France may have crossed the line from too big to fail to too big to save. In short, it’s all too easy to describe a really ugly scenario for a French crisis that would be extremely divisive within Europe.” —Paul Krugman, What’s the Matter With France? https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/whats-the-matter-with-france #france #europe
