Farage was basically right, except that the Eurozone never became a proper economic union, because you still have separate debt.
Yes, Farage and like-minded people usually make sure that all the things the EU introduces are half-arsed and therefore lead to problems such as this. If Europe had been properly integrated politicially before the introduction of the Euro, this might have been preventable.
We still don't even have an EU army, but having an integrated NATO command structure is somehow okay.
