As a Greek entrepreneur that recently graduated and start a business here, I can see the problems that previous generations left us with but i also see a “mentality change” happening.

Back to the article, and responding to Peter De Groot and Michel Bauwens: In my humble opinion, what is happening right now is a result of not having a Common political ideology/system in Europe but only a monetary one, the Euro. Adding to that the ECB has given power to the IMF and other non-European organizations to do its job. – This instability mounts as the “stronger” countries can impose restrictions and further constraints on the development of other nations.

I actually love Germans, Germany, and have many german friends, obviously you didn’t read the article, which is about the government of Germany and the financial interests it defends at the cost of the people of Greece.

I do not know where your dislike for the Germans comes from, but it influences your view.
Stick to the facts. The Germans have never wanted a weak currency, have not benefitted from German and European Reunification as much as the other countries.
And it is frankly very disturbing that with little economic backing you are encouraging hate against the Germans.
