At the People’s Pledge Congress today, I appeared on a panel discussing the political implications of the Eurozone crisis. I would have loved to focus on democracy, freedom and the rule of law but the cause of the crisis was the key theme.
As ever, I blamed our statist, inflationary monetary arrangements for creating the incentives and institutions which supported such dreadful behaviour and outcomes. I went on Russia Today (who asked) to discuss the campaign afterwards.
You can find my speaking notes here.

Update: Appearance on Russia Today:
A welcome,clear statement from one of our own MPs: The EU is not delivering on self-determination…Time to leave it.
