EU (European Union) crisis in the Eurozone revisited

This is a hopefully funny humorous but at the same time slightly serious look at the current financial crisis in the EU (European Union) or rather in the EU’s Eurozone.

One aspect of the Eurozone crisis is the reluctance by Germany to ‘print money,’ supposedly because many Germans are concerned about inflation, more specifically the level of inflation called hyperinflation that occurred in Germany’s Weimar republic during the 1920s.

Anyway, here goes.
So Germany is reluctant to ‘print money’ because Germans are still haunted by the memory of the hyperinflation of the Weimar republic of the 1920s, when money was so worthless because of this hyperinflation that it was transported around in wheelbarrows.

Hyperinflation – it’s a generation thing!

Isn’t the notion that the current generation of Germans is still influenced by an event that took place before they were born, and almost certainly before their grandparents were born, pretty bizarre?

What wheelbarrows full of useless German Marks?

Germany is a highly industrialised economy, and the chances are that most modern Germans have never even seen a wheelbarrow, let alone seen a wheel barrow that’s hauling worthless Marks.

Collecting ‘hyperinflation miniatures’ as a hobby

Maybe the German fear of inflation, if it really exists, has been elevated to a hobby – the hobby of collecting ‘miniatures.’
The difference being, German miniature figures consist entirely of wheelbarrows full of worthless Marks.

A celebration of hyperinflation

Maybe in the rural villages of Germany they have a tradition of hauling a wheelbarrow full of worthless Marks.
Maybe each year they hold the ‘Annual Festival of the Wheelbarrow Hauling Worthless Marks.’
Maybe someone puts on a huge inflatable outfit to symbolise inflation and leads the parade through the village pushing a wheelbarrow filled with replica worthless Marks.

Coming soon!
That’s enough of teasing Germany and Germans about inflation and hyperinflation!
Let’s tease other countries about ‘printing money!’

Pretty WordPress templates

Also, I’ve been advised by an expert in the field (wow) to change this WordPress template to something more appealing. Apparently visitors like pretty templates, so maybe I’ll have a prettier template soon.
