“A book by a Portuguese economist achieved a small feat on its release last month: It instantly topped Portugal’s bestseller list. The book, ‘Why We Should Leave the Euro’ by João Ferreira do Amaral, has helped ignite a public debate in Portugal about the real cause of the country’s economic pain. Communist parties in Portugal and Cyprus have turned against euro membership. Two parties in Italy’s Parliament want a euro referendum. And two small anti-euro parties recently formed in depression-hit Greece. Even in prosperous Germany, angst about the cost of euro-zone bailouts has led to the launch of an anti-euro party, Alternative for Germany.”
