Does it really make sense to think about Germany as a separate entity from the rest of the Euro Zone? Economically, I think Germany is more like the center of a huge country with Spain and Greece being the poorer provinces... It is a very strange situation caused by too diverse countries having the same currency.
Does that question even make sense? Does it make sense to even consider countries - after all, they are all just provinces in the world? Of course everything is connected. But Germans don't make the politics in Greece or Spain.
