Nov. 16 (Bloomberg) -- The European Union may not comethrough its current troubles in one piece. But if it does, itwill need to engage, this time seriously, with fundamentalquestions that were raised and too quickly dismissed in theyears before the euro was created.

It must ask whether flaws that are now soapparent were intrinsic to the enterprise or avoidable errorsthat can be corrected.
