The Euro instability may push citizens to look for an alternative to the official currency – as stated by a German economist, former employee of Deutsche Bank Thomas Mayer, RIA Novosti reports

Mr. Mayer believes the European Union will be overtaken by prolonged inflation, and it can kill the Euro as a currency. “At this time, the European Central Bank continues to print banknotes and cannot – and probably does not want to – influence the situation,” he noted.

The economist added that inflation can have not only economic, but also political and social consequences. According to him, a period of hyperinflation in Germany in the 1920s helped National Socialist adherers come to power.
