Economic data for selected european economies, 2000-14 Summary The eurozone crisis started in Greece in 2009-10, spread into Ireland and Portugal, and, from there, quickly spread to the larger economies of Spain and Italy. By the autumn of 2011, it threatened the entire global financial system. In Europe's Crisis, Europe's Future, an international group of economic analysts provides an insightful view of the crisis. How did mismanagement of a crisis in a marginal economy spark such a wildfire? After all, Greece is responsible for only 2% of the eurozone's total GDP, yet the crisis in Athens threatened to grow into a worldwide contagion Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Monetary policy -- European Union countries -- 21st century Debts, Public -- European Union countries Global Financial Crisis, 2008-2009.
