'Europe Needs Growth to Prevent a Collapse of the Euro'
Europe, says star economist Nouriel Roubini, needs to take immediate
action to shore up the euro. In an interview with SPIEGEL, Roubini said

the European Central Bank to loosen monetary policy. Otherwise, disaster
could be looming.

is weak and it is beset by in-fighting.
