Abstract
This paper investigates the monetary–structural origins of the euro-area crisis and offers a critical analysis of the monetary policy decisions of the European Central Bank in this regard. The first section explains that the euro-area crisis is the unavoidable result of the monetary architecture of the European Monetary Union, where the TARGET2 payment system lacks an international settlement institution to make sure that every cross-border transaction is paid finally. To solve this issue, the second section suggests a monetary–structural reform of the TARGET2 payment system in the spirit of Keynes’s Plan. The third section focuses on the European Central Bank, to point out the major flaws and shortcomings of its monetary policy strategy, particularly after the euro-area crisis burst near the end of 2009. The last section concludes and provides some political economy considerations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
