WSJ (2-17-2012) "Europe's Supply-Side Revolution" by By DONALD L. LUSKIN AND LORCAN ROCHE KELLY
Luskin and Kelly suggest European governments should focus more on growing out of the crisis, i.e. focus on the supply side of the economy.

But fear clarified our minds, and the supply-side revolution we dared to undertake in the 1980s restored America's growth and competitiveness. Conventional wisdom today holds that Europe is doomed. To the contrary. It is, bravely, starting its own supply-side revolution."
