Now, the fire has spread to larger countries. And the same frail EU institutions and smug national attitudes that failed to contain the Greek crisis are up against far more daunting challenges. Historians will look back on the spring of 2012 as moment when Europe's institutions and leaders either failed to contain a deepening crisis -- or as a time when leadership grasped the common stakes and rose to the occasion. You have to be quite the optimist to imagine the more hopeful outcome. <p>Read more: <a href="/tag/european-union">European Union</a>, <a href="/tag/eurozone">Eurozone</a>, <a href="/tag/greece">Greece</a>, <a href="/tag/greece-debt-crisis">Greece Debt Crisis</a>, <a href="/tag/angela-merkel">Angela Merkel</a>, <a href="/tag/greece-euro">Greece Euro</a>, <a href="/tag/germany">Germany</a>, <a href="/tag/austerity">Austerity</a>, <a href="/world">World News</a></p> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/simon-johnson/euro-collapse_b_1549444.html 2012-05-27T17:56:53Z 2012-05-27T17:52:42Z Simon Johnson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/simon-johnson/ In every economic crisis there comes a moment of clarity.
