   Trouble choosing a topic? Here are some ideas:
   • Why a single currency for Europe?
   • Why not a world currency?
   • Does the value of the euro against the dollar matter?
   • Why is too much debt a problem? Is the problem public debt or private debt?
   • Why is high inflation a problem?
   • Should troubled banks be given public money?
   • What will money look like in the future?
