I think perhaps partly because it's just not being told? It wouldn't be the first time, after all. There's another great piece here on just how out-of-control the German narrative of events has become here: http://mainlymacro.blogspot.fi/2015/07/why-germany-wants-rid-of-greece.html http://mainlymacro.blogspot.fi/2015/07/why-germany-wants-rid... I think there's something to be said for the parallel he draws: It's essentially the typical local austerity narrative writ large. The poor/creditor are lazy and corrupt and their woes are all their fault (pay no attention to the Bugatti driving banker behind the curtain).
