so really the current system is hurting europe we have to make some changes but i do think that the current rather detrimental state of affairs is going to continue for quite a while where you say germany isn't in the driving seat what can change that well what we do right now is we have the fiscal union which is austerity which means we save on the back of people of tax payers in the south and in the north the euro has created the problems because the euro and that's what i predicted in ninety eight ninety eight in a lecture at boston university the euro will create artificial wombs in some areas and artificial busts than others because we don't have an after them currency area and that's exactly what happened also it created a competitiveness problem for the south because wages went up and so on but they couldn't devalue any more and that's the root cause of the problem and we're trying to mistakenly correct that to rectify that by. by saving by public by by cutting down public deficit which will not work in the

situation and at the same time we're saving on the one hand on the other hand we're having a hugely expansionary monetary policy that we are stepping on the gas pedal was one foot and on the brake was the other and that's the frederick and so one would have to ask. who benefits from that kind of policy and they said that it could in deficits wouldn't work perhaps would getting rid of the euro. getting rid of the euro would be very painful it would work in the long run because we had a perfect system before the european monetary system which was just the right mix of flexibility and stability it was a stable system but you couldn't just if things went out of hand so that was a good system going back there theoretically would be great in practicality it would not be great because it would be extremely painful but. what i envision is that some people some countries leave the euro like greece and maybe later spain or

portugal italy not so a flexible union countries that are not ready to stay in should leave and that's not the end of the eurozone quite to the contrary it would strengthen the euro zone but the european political elite. is basically upholding a dogma if greece fails meaning greece leaves the euro greece has failed horribly greece is basically a failed state but they say of greece fails the euro will fail and europe will fail all of this by itself is wrong and in this connection is also wrong so we have to ask again who benefits from that state of affairs is there a chance though that we could see a champions league monetary union created with the likes of germany austria the netherlands and other countries with underneath that a second tier of monetary union there are some proposals out there to really split the euro into a northern europe the southern euro southern euro or. there are some proposals out

there to really split the euro zone into another and so on and the southerners so on but that's not really working that will not work for political reasons you cannot split france and germany then france will be really let's say insulted that's just not politically feasible if you do that then you might as well get rid of the euro completely so france would have to stay in the champions league and so that by definition would be very difficult in that sense. and also who's going to lead the size and so on who's going to be the point around which they will rally so that the mind boggling the problems around negotiate such an arrangement getting countries on board so they're much more flexible and also i think sufficient approach at this time is to have individual countries opt out if they just cannot comply was current policies and of course greece should leave rather today. and not tomorrow because it's really clear the policies are not working we're really having

the austerity program which puts the country deeper into difficulty is the g.d.p. is shrinking people are suffering the only people are saving is the financial elite is the oligarchy that has been ruling greece for about two centuries because we save the banks so we save the banks and the creditors at the cost of the people and that's not right so you saying that it would be better for greece to leave the euro take extreme hardship for say a generation and then benefit in the long term it would be extreme hardship but we do have extreme hardship right now also i'm not sure how much more extreme it can get and would not be a generational in my in my projection would be about five years three to five years and of course if they leave the euro zone. the european countries should stay solidary they should give. measured aid they should give support project the.

should supports a bang so we're it's not the end of european solidarity but it would just be a healthy arrangement now looking at some of your work you seem to suggest that there's a problem with the german mentality when it comes to taking things forward economically . yes i mean some of the factors in europe are still the same france is pretty much behaving like it behaved one hundred fifty years ago england is behaving that way. russia we'll see but one country that has really changed. mean there is this guilt complex we can say it openly still from world war two and we believe if we just give up sovereignty and german interests we will have europe but that is a little the jump is a little short so to say i mean less germany doesn't mean more europe. if germany has viking ships should use them to create a stronger europe but i doubt that we do it by creating fear by supporting an

unsustainable arrangement was the euro as it is by doing a fiscal pact which is basically strangulating european economy so in that sense germany should indeed assert european interests i would say more strongly sorry sorry to interrupt you what are these bargaining chips the bargaining chips are not many anymore and we gave one way again which is the yes and which is i mean still european increase in the capital of the years still requires. a sense of parliament and so on but parliament really is lame parliament a sense because the major parties in coalition government and outside always agree to stock up the capital so there's an encroachment upon sovereign budgetary rights and the parliament is not defending those but basically that's the last bargaining chip our sovereign budgetary rights i just clarify there by e.s.m. we mean the european stability mechanism not say

a pox whereby all the countries put money in and it's given out to those countries that need it most will not work in your opinion yes that years and missed the big part european money will be distributed somewhat like the eye. i.m.f. and it should the money should flow to countries and problems. under certain conditions at this point how it's constructed we give ever more money to that as a result saving solving their problems. and the money flowing in basically exacerbating a prolonged poor along the current unsustainable situation now german chancellor angela merkel's always been a big supporter of the eurozone saying it must stick together is there a chance that german fiscal decisions are being made based on political decisions because looking ahead to the elections will be taking place here next year well marked with the case is very much listening to the other countries at some point in

december two thousand and three and sarkozy is said after the consummate response to leave it can leave we're prepared but there was a short short blink of truth but the dark my is europe has to stay together and it's basically a dogma based on wrong premises to blackmail germany to blackmail the novena countries for the benefit of large financial institutions for the benefit of what i call financial oligarchy for the benefit also of course of the southern countries and the elites in the countries but wouldn't a greek exit from the eurozone be devastating for germany economically germany would be heavily affected if it left the eurozone that's why almost nobody is for it in germany it would be extremely costly once again but so far in history every monetary union at some point has come to an end if there was no political union so this union will come to an end but it will be way in the future so the pain is not

big enough so you suggesting that a political union could be what's needed to save the monetary union. i'm a firm believer in the fact that germany should play its strength more actively should have a more active stance in the negotiations but also as most germans are really dream of a united states of europe but then we have to start with a parliament that it's worth it it's name a government that is elected by the parliament not a commission we have to start putting together the true parts of high politics like defense security those things have to be integrated and we can have principle of subsidiarity for economic policy so right now we're building a technocratic euro for the benefit of certainly leads for the benefit of the political elite for the benefit of the financial elite which is not really a citizen to europe so you're suggesting that germany should lead the way in convincing countries that would be in this united states of europe to essentially

give a sovereign rights germany cannot lead by itself this german french tunde has to work it's a difficult time them and i'm not sure we can really make it work but even sarkozy and merkel have learnt to work together but martin has been to yield ing so i'm not sure how the french german tandem will work once romney becomes a bit more sort of. points to basic things that have to be done but without french german cooperation on this it will not happen just one last question in the past you've predicted doom and gloom for the eurozone how to predict its future right now right now i'm predicting that this unsustainable and to some extent pretty bad sort of just going to continue nobody has the power in the world to really solve it but everybody is of course concerned not to read let it disintegrate so i predict

more bickering more economic hardship more muddling through for at least another two years because the e.c.b. is printing money like crazy so we're going to sustain an unsustainable state of affairs for another two or three years you make it sound like a failing marriage. it's certainly a quiet failing marriage were partners have not given up on each other yet. looking to the future doctor or a pleasure to speak to thank you very much margaret. in japan the average height for men is one hundred eighty two centimeters ten centimeters shorter because of that some employers refused to hire me one of them even told me directly that i was too short to deal with the clients could you just already spend three months in this hospital and plans to stay for another four to
