Not only Germans but whole EU. The way EU works is by letting monopolies in a few west European countries expand their market to east and capture more value from everywhere. Yes, East European companies can also do that but usually, there i

Harvard professor is surely very connected to both administration, regulation, technology and everything else. It's literally impossible for an outsider to achieve this feat even if he has the initial money at his disposal.
