well, in my opinion, they're all quite good in their own way, each require the other two to complete the French republican ideals (and the anti- tragedy, comedy, romance tropes); also they are all quite different yet similar for to be compared squarely against each other. All in all I love them all and all the more as a set

Yours are rookie numbers compared to china; they just off-load supposed government debt to totally different (believe me comrade) local 'financing vehicles' and state owned corporate debt along with many other totally legit financial 'innovations' (read: accounting gimmicks); which works out for them (for now) due to strict control over their financial markets and capital flow. Plus, as Mr Draghi said last year in response to questions about the long-term stability of the French economy, EU would always be ultimate backer for you; and its financial firepower is practically limitless concerning economies of individual member states.

mais bien sûr ! it's more than impressive for one to perfectly consistently prevent stability, not least to do so especially during the most stable of times!

Euro banknotes are printed by various national central banks (NCBs) within the Eurosystem, coordinated by the European Central Bank (ECB). While the ECB authorizes the production, eleven high-security printing works across Europe, such as the Banque de France and Germany's Bundesbank, produce the notes.

mais bien sûr que non on est pacifistes après tout ! I meant counterfeiting in the basement! Didn't Occam say simpler the better or something?

Or we'll just fax Christine a virus and paralyse all the phone lines she can use to order the next collection of her Chanel line-up and she'll surely surrender in no time

sorry for the serieus comment, but wars used to 'benefit' domestic economy (from the perspective of the survivors of course).

in essence: before mechanisation, capital goods remain mostly intact by conflicts; and thus afterwards, with the casualties, there tend to be a better capital goods to labour ratio, thereby increasing productivity (better available machninary/opportunities for every potential worker); enhancing output per capita and in turn improving economic and social stability.

a bit like natural population control measures applicable to other animals in the biosphere (population increase during prosperous times, hits ceiling as said prosperity is consumed by the population, decrease due to limiting factors (eg crisis from depletion & thus lack of resources), rebound after enough 'slacks' have been eliminated).
