Even Craig does not think Germany’s export subsidies, determination to run trade surpluses in all weathers, and pursuit of zero rather than moderate inflation immoral and selfish, which they are. “Acting better than US Republicans” is a ridiculously low ethical bar.
Also, coal.

I recommend the books and Essays from Arno Gruen:

I don’t know if it was published in English but “Der Fremde in uns” by A.G. probably explains a lot on “fathering” – where it comes from and where it leads to, it’s consequences.
