Αλλά επίσης: Don't blame Germany for the eurozone's travails, blame the euro itself - Telegraph
"The same goes for monetary policy. For Germans, the European Central Bank’s 2pc inflation target is fine just as long as it doesn’t mean inflation in Germany rising to more than 2pc. The rather higher rate of inflation necessary to allow the periphery a decent level of nominal GDP growth is regarded as anathema by most Germans – and quite right too in most respects. Germany didn’t set out to design an economic model that impoverishes much of the rest of Europe. Unfortunately, it did acquiesce in the euro, which prevents the natural market remedy of free-floating exchange rates and the application by nations of self-interested monetary policy. The fault lies not with hard working Germans, but the folly of Europe’s policy elite".
Είναι δύσκολο να διαπιστωθεί ποιός καθιέρωσε το "ένα μέγεθος για όλους". Αλλά είναι ποιο εύκολο να φανεί ποιοι ωφελήθηκαν απο αυτό. Ναί, είναι διάφοροι και διαφορετικοί, και όχι τόσο...νέοι.
