Stung by Voters, Republican #Legislators Move to Curb Citizen #Initiatives.

#wages are not exogenous. FX regimes shape adjustment asymmetrically. And "addressing domestic imbalances" in the #eurozone context has historically meant one thing: #austerity and #wage deflation for the weaker members
The paper's silence on #wage moderation and internal #devaluation is a striking omission. The #eurozone 's adjustment experience after 2010 is the most obvious case study: surplus positions in #Germany and the #Netherlands were not simply the product of virtuous "domestic #saving behaviour"
