European Crisis Essay, Due: 9am, Thursday, November 29

As a follow-up to the euro crisis simulation, I'd like you to write a follow-up essay of no more than three pages.

The date is November 2018. You have been invited to write an essay for The Economist on the subject of "The Euro Crisis: A Critical Retrospective." You should spend part of your essay explaining briefly what happened in the Euro Zone between November 2012 and November 2018, then discuss very briefly what could have been done differently to lead to different (better or worse) outcomes.
