Surely that's what makes it a valid analogy? Countries that have their own currencies have an escape route from debt in the form of devaluation, which makes them unlike small businesses. Countries that use a shared currency (or issue debt denominated in another country's currency) don't have that escape route, which makes them much more similar to small businesses.
