"The past summer has been dominated by two major stories, the ongoing tensions and critical debt levels within the eurozone, and the good old British weather. The current difficulties surrounding Greece and Italy, and to a lesser degree three or four other member states, casts a long shadow over the economic recovery of many parts of Europe and potentially the US and other world economies.
