• The U.S. consistently outperforms the eurozone in recovery from major economic shocks, as seen after both 2008 and COVID-19
• This pattern stems from a fundamental structural weakness in the eurozone: the lack of fiscal union, which would require difficult agreements on shared debt and inter-regional transfers
• Without addressing these fiscal integration challenges, the eurozone risks following Japan's path, where mounting debt remains manageable only through central bank intervention in yield control
