A Dollar for Your Euro?

Why the euro is falling, what it means for the eurozone and what it tells us about the European social and economic model.

Andrew Walker explains why the euro has weakened against the dollar and what it means for the eurozone. Also, Slavoj Zizek, a cultural theorist, Marxist philosopher and international director at the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities in London, looks at what the eurozone crisis has done to the European economic model, which has the social welfare state at its heart.

Also, Andy Martin reports from Ireland where resentment at years of austerity is fuelling a rise in the popularity of Sinn Fein, the former political wing of the Irish Republican Army paramilitary group.
