All The Ways The Euro Crisis Is Actually Much Worse Than The Great Depression
Contrast the US's experience between 1929 and 1940 to that of the Eurozone since the onset of the financial crisis and Europe looks good by comparison. Europe's real GDP declined only 5% peak-to-trough and unemployment peaked at 12%.
Those figures, however, cover a multitude of sins.
Greece has seen real GDP decline by 25% between the last quarter of 2007 and the last quarter of 2013, while youth unemployment in Italy and Portugal is still at shocking levels of 44% and 35% respectively.
In both cases the crisis exacted a heavy toll on society with some of the poorest and most vulnerable the hardest hit. And in both opportunities to act decisively to address problems early were passed up and problems were allowed to fester.
