I'm primarily commenting not on the book (the existence of which I just learned in the previous book), but on the article. Point is that German exports have been strong when the currency was strong, and they are strong with other EU countries as well as outside the EU. The USA may have helped Germany with a favourable exchange rate out of political motivation (strong ally, look commies how well OUR Germany is doing - props to the US btw.). Economically it seems like a bad deal; Wallstreet might benefit indirectly, but it's not like the USA took ownership of German companies as reparations (that's what the Soviets did, again, thanks Americans for being cool like that). "You would know that if you actually read it." Key is, I knew it without reading it, as the topic is already ultra-well researched. The onus can't be on me to read his book, in particularly coming from that author: Wouldn't he likely be the most biased person on the planet in this matter? Objectively, giving him all the credit (heh...), wouldn't such a book be primarily a political statement of a man under immense pressure? A tool to put some narrative to support his politics? Big words like "The Global Minotaur" would make it seem like it is. Basically, the article discusses the global effects of "global imbalances". The author does not say Germany is to blame for Greece's problems.
