I find especially the last two paragraphs very important:

"...In hindsight, it was a mistake to believe in the euro’s spontaneous community-creating power. Though there clearly is a link between currency areas and political communities..., it is political community that creates the solidarity needed to foster currency linkages, not vice versa.

Rostowski is certainly right: the euro’s weakness has emboldened Putin. In the end, however, the right question may be whether the Crimea crisis will eventually bolster European solidarity – and thus the euro."

But I would go a step even further. It is not "political community" that Europe and in fact the whole global world needs, but a real COMMUNITY.

A mutually responsible, mutually complementing global human community, where each and every individual primarily works for the benefit of the whole and then receives 100% of their necessities according to their contribution.

And uniting against a "common enemy" will not suffice, as it is still the wrong type of unity.

We do not need to unite on some ethical, moral ground, or because an ideology, philosophy, some "ism" dictates it, but because uniting and mutually working together is an evolutionary necessity in a global, integral world.

And most importantly such unity has to happen, gradually evolve based on positive motivation, not by coercion or trickery as it happened every time in human history.

It has to happen as people very clearly, without a doubt understand that such mutually responsible and cooperating human structure is beneficial, can provide the solutions for all our problems and crisis situations, and is our path towards a sustainable future and survival.

And this can only be achieved by a global, integral education program for all, and by the gradual change of the values of the global society.
