摘要：For the past year the eurozone has been facing a crisis that
some observers predict will not pass until the basic structure
of the monetary union is transformed. One of its
member-states could be ejected for ‘breaking the rules,’
while others face a strict insolvency regime and a set of
fiscal controls that further compromise their sovereignty. If
this is ‘Phase 2’ of a global financial crisis, it has a distinctive
European flavour as arguments about who (or what) is
to blame go to the heart of what the euro was all about in
the first place. In this note we want to highlight one aspect
of the debate, namely, the claim that the eurozone has
become a transfer union. Framing the eurozone in terms of
a notion ‘moral economy’ drawn from Bataille, we argue
that this claim is misjudged.
