Economic peace in our time?

When Neville Chamberlain returned from his audience with 'Herr Hitler' he waved in the air a piece of paper Hitler had signed.  A grateful nation issued a collective sigh of relief; peace in our time.  Memories of the carnage of the Great War still scarred the collective conscience.  Peace was what the population was aching for.  The folly of appeasement became apparent very shortly afterwards.

Will Cameron return from the EU summit clutching a communique promising economic order out of the carnage of the eurozone?  What price will the UK pay? What concessions will have been wrung from the maw of the EU, France and Germany?

Make no mistake, we are on the cusp of a defining moment in European history whatever happens over the next few days.
