Could you be the new Eurozone model? |

The 25-Year-Old Model
At first glance, German reunification has been an extraordinary success. In merely 25 years, it has lifted a communist economy to a par with Europe's most prosperous, thanks to massive support from the western part of the country. Couldn't the same principle be applied to the Eurozone, with a massive commitment from North to South to end the southern discomfort? Hans-Werner Sinn explains why this would not be a good idea.

Isn't It Ironic
Germany is full of surprises. If you thought Germans don't do irony, you'd be wrong. The place is brimming with it. It is only that Germans themselves haven't noticed yet.

He Woz Here
You have to hand it to him: the man has guts, coming to the lair of the dragon like this. Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis came to Munich, stood elbow to elbow with Hans-Werner Sinn on stage and delivered, to a packed audience, his (actually quite charming) view of all the things Germany is doing wrong to end the euro crisis. Check out the video of his presentation here (don't panic: only the first two minutes are in German). You can also find there Hans-Werner Sinn's reply, the Varoufakis-Sinn podium discussion, and the discussion with the audience.
