Then, at the start of 2010, the countries that had been muddling through divided into two groups those where government credit was unimpaired continued to muddle through, while countries like Greece and Ireland, where government credit was impaired, had no choice but to pursue austerity and try to restore fiscal confidence.

In today s crisis, muddling through would be a recipe for a continuation of the crisis and secular stagnation of the type once described by Alvin Hansen, a contemporary of Keynes. Hansen predicted that capitalism would suffer from a permanent underinvestment crisis.

Anti austerity anger swept away the reform agenda of Mario Monti s previous technocratic government, leaving Italy, its future uncertain, to continue muddling through.

With the only effective solutions full blown eurozone political union, or abandoning the euro ruled out, muddling through is all that is left.
