I was coming here to comment that I hate the way that a country 'manages' it's finances. Or makes mistakes. Or joins the Euro. And what I mean by that is that a very small powerful minority entrenched at the top of a countries hierarchy or banking system do things for their own benefit that positively or negatively affect millions of others. And then the media reports on these actions as if it was a _country_ doing something. And the main reason I hate it is because if you don't understand what happened in the past then you are not able to prevent bad things from happening again or happening elsewhere.
