La eurozona fue un experimento sin precedentes. Sus miembros trataron de construir un mercado único y unificado —de bienes, servicios y dinero— mientras la autoridad política seguía residiendo en las unidades nacionales que la formaban. Habría un mercado único, pero muchos sistemas de gobierno.

combinar la integración del mercado con la democracia requiere la creación de instituciones políticas supranacionales representativas y responsables.

la heterogeneidad de las preferencias y la falta de singularidad institucional, junto con la geografía, crean una necesidad de diversidad institucional. La diversidad institucional impide la plena globalización económica. A su vez, la incompleta integración económica refuerza la heterogeneidad y el papel de la distancia.

Boundary crossers reject either/or choices and seek multiple options and blended solutions. They lead hyphenated lives filled with hyphenated jobs and enlivened by hyphenated identities.

They have an intuitive sense of what I call the "Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Theory of Innovation": sometimes the most powerful ideas come from simply combining two existing ideas nobody else ever thought to unite.

There is no reason to believe any longer that only irrelevant 'play' can be enjoyed, while the serious business of life must be borne as a burdensome cross.
