Analyse van Soros:

The likelihood is that the euro will survive because a breakup would be devastating not only for the periphery but also for Germany," he said. "Germany is likely to do what is necessary to preserve the euro – but nothing more.

"That would result in a eurozone dominated by Germany in which the divergence between the creditor and debtor countries would continue to widen and the periphery would turn into permanently depressed areas in need of constant transfer of payments … it would be a German empire with the periphery as the hinterland."
