Nowhere in the developed world is secular stagnation more visible than in the Eurozone. This column explains this phenomenon with asymmetric external balances within the Eurozone. Southern countries had accumulated current-account deficits and became debtors when the Crisis hit, whereas the northern ones became creditors.

Suggested fiscal policy prescriptions are government investment programmes, to be implemented by northern countries (and in particular, Germany).
