If business prospects are weak, companies are unlikely to invest if households are drowning in debt, they are unlikely to go on a spending spree. The ECB is about to discover the truth of this as it starts on its own 1 trillion program of monetary expansion in an effort to stimulate the stagnant eurozone economy.

The institution needs the authority to remove the obstacles it identifies, rather than having its proposals languish in various ministries.

and unexplained explosions have been detected in the vicinity of the watershed, these crew members are very unlikely to have survived.

The problem is that these factors, both individually and in combination, are unlikely to be a game changer, for four reasons

Now, we probably think a priori that's unlikely.
