The debt crisis in the European Monetary Union as seen by a 9-year old.

[randomness]

From a research note by Michael Cembalest of J. P. Morgan, yesterday:

To examine the various factions, I consulted Peter Cembalest, who specializes in conceptualization of such phenomena. Peter (age 9) uses Lego Minifigures as a medium, and assisted me with the diorama on the next page. It identifies the 12 players in the EMU Debt Crisis most likely to affect policy from here; red lines indicate who each entity believes should be stuck with the cost.

The diorama is key.
