Peter Koenig an economist and geopolitical analyst believes that the EU and its currency, the Euro are doomed to collapse. It’s just a question of time. George Soros chairman of Soros Fund Management and a pioneer of the hedge-fund industry feels that the post- Brexit turmoil has highlighted for people in Britain just what they stand to lose by leaving the EU. If this sentiment spreads to the rest of Europe, what seemed like the inevitable disintegration of the EU could be instead creating positive momentum for a stronger and better Europe.

YES: Peter Koenig writes in Europe – Are the EU      and Euro on the Verge of Collapse? (Sept 2016)

MAYBE      NOT: says George Soros in The promise of Regrexit (July      2016)

Read the two articles from 2016. The situation has been fluid since Brexit.

• Where      do you think the Euro is today?
• Will      Brexit completely sever the ties between EU and Britain or will there be a      compromise, a “soft landing”?
• What      will happen to EU in years to come?
