Talk:Euro area crisis

Causes seem incomplete

There were two main causes for EU countries that led to their public debt crisis, being

1 "switching" to the low-inflation Euro currency without sustainably fulfilling or willing to fulfill the Maastricht treaty criteria attached to the Euro

2 "being" in the Euro without adhering to the fiscal discipline necessary for that low-inflation currency, e.g. not increasing spending levels out of line with the productivity development

One can connect a lot of other detailed decisions and events with these two main reasons but the article seems to lack any systematic description of the reasons.

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:

  • There are uncited passages throughout the article, including a "citation needed" tag from 2018.
  • As per the yellow banner at the top of the page, this article is considered WP:TOOBIG. I recommend that some inforamtion be spun out into other articles.
  • There are some sources that might not be considered reliable, including "seekingalpha.com", "New Economic Perspectives" and "Jim Rogers Blog"

Is anyone interested in addressing the above concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 01:00, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eurozone vs Euro area crisis

Perhaps I am rehashing an old argument but I did search through the archives for the term "Eurozone" and was not able to see a concrete discussion which addressed why this article is named in such a weird way. I have never seen anyone talk about it as a the Euro area crisis, most often in the scholarship I have read they discuss it as the eurozone.


I was wondering why and if people would be willing to have a discussion to re-name the article to Eurozone crisis. Chefs-kiss (talk) 15:59, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
