From the wreck of the sovereign debt crisis Germany has unquestionably emerged as Europe’s pre-eminent power. And a central tenet of the German solution to the crisis – for it is primarily a German solution – is that other eurozone members must be recast in their mould of fiscal orthodoxy and financial conservatism. Debt is to be regarded as immoral; current account surpluses are de rigueur; all but marginal budget deficits will be punished; and financial innovation is to be throttled by regulation. What, fellow Europeans might ask, is the wellspring of this providentialism and homespun finance?
The usual explanation emphasises the traumatic experience of the 1920s Weimar inflation, which lingers in the German memory more than the slump that brought Hitler to power. There are nonetheless deeper factors at work, not the least the etymological link between debt and guilt in the German word schuld. The fear of currency debasement was entrenched long before the 20th century. Frederick the Great in the Seven Years War debauched the currency several times to fund the fighting. Note, too, that Goethe’s Faust Part II brilliantly describes the perils of inflation. Mephistopheles urges the emperor to use undiscovered gold beneath his lands as putative collateral for promissory notes to pay the army. When the emperor and his court find they can print money without restraint, their wild spending leads to an inflationary spiral and civil chaos.
This, from the man who served as privy councillor at the court in Weimar, was more than prescient, given that Germany had yet to acquire a note-issuing bank when the work was written. Goethe probably drew on experiences of revolutionary France. The National Assembly’s issue of assignats – certificates supposedly backed by the value of church properties confiscated in 1790 – ballooned out of control. Goethe’s masterpiece no doubt helped embed the anti-inflationary mentality in Germany’s educated class. It took the horrors of the first world war and its aftermath to induce the temporary lapse of memory under the Weimar Republic.
Meanwhile, mercantilism and the fear of sophisticated finance have historically gone hand in hand in Germany and other parts of northern Europe. In the 15th century the cities of the Hanseatic League were profoundly suspicious of credit. They largely excluded foreign bankers. Merchants tried to balance trade bilaterally, relying partly on barter while making some use of coin. The economic historian Raymond de Roover reckoned the League’s credit institutions were about two centuries behind the Italians in 1500.
As the 16th century progressed, southern Germans such as the Fugger family became more competitive vis-à-vis the Italians. They developed a system of financial intermediation involving borrowing from wealth-owners everywhere and lending to monarchs. Yet they still mistrusted innovation deeply.
Then the big innovators were the Genoese, who developed the equivalent of interest rate swaps in lending to Spain’s government. In a form of securitisation they also used inflows of silver to Spain to finance the delivery of gold to pay Spanish troops in the Low Countries. According to the historian Fernand Braudel, the horrified Fuggers thought this an unworkable sleight of hand. So the Genoese were able to erode the Fuggers’ share of business with the Spanish treasury.
German banking continued to lag behind in the 19th century, while in the 20th big German banks were slow to respond to the importance of plastic cards, securitisation and derivatives markets. Does this conservatism matter? The Germans are superb manufacturers, while the Americans and British happen to have bigger financial sectors. Globalisation and the law of comparative advantage are all about specialisation. Yet the cultural bias is arguably a disadvantage. A shortage of equity in both banking and the non-financial corporate sector leaves Germany’s economy vulnerable to shocks.
The apparent lack of understanding of the reciprocal relationship between debtors and creditors is more damaging. No one can run persistent current account surpluses without somebody else running up deficits. There are also double standards here. The German military was long exempt from financial discipline: the motto of its general staff in the first world war was Geld spielt keine Rolle – loosely, hang the cost. Germany was the first in the European monetary union to break the stability and growth pact rules on deficits and debt.

Pljeszkavicás lunch at Mojo
Tile functioned as a warehouse for the flush, but not in Szeged Batthyány basement corner and the Great Plains, where twenty years ago, a young man Senta has begun since the legendary Mojo Club Restaurant design.zentai
The first site was in Szeged, where retro furniture, the decor is quite eclectic environments are designed and where it continues to blues and jazz music ding the loudspeakers. A wall of old photos, musical instruments, radios Avita, no two tables are the same, where the old sink in the guest armchair, wicker chairs where you push the bottom. The chaos is very well. At first, you can organize mini-concerts on stage, but the opposition of neighbors because they are missing. Students and teachers Ady favorite place in the building next to air. However, after ten years if you go into the Mojo, is pleased to say, well, are all the same.
Since opening in Vojvodina, Serbia affiliation business leaders and staff took the shop will not be missing from the menu on the Serbian and Balkan dishes: csevap, pljeszkavica, gyros. Ottjártunkkor, noon time, there were two tables. The waitress courteous, kind, there is no time to contact. He asks, might offer, or do we navigate through the menu - chose the latter. Now, let's see, what does the restaurant elkeresztelt soup. Húsgombóccal marjoram soup, cake-like top tésztakalappal, this soup Mojo. Of course, much more. Guszti, deep, cup-like bowl, make us. Pleasantly tart, plenty zöldségezték mushrooms, peas, carrot, much more. Appropriate temperature. In addition to meat dumplings were also bites the soup was delicious. No less a shoe vargányakrémleves. Crispy pasta dish was served, a nice hat leemelve steaming food. On with it!
The gyrostálat offered to the salad mixture on the menu instead of the desire to taste grilled vegetables, but the waiter returned to the kitchen I regret to inform a woman of no moment. So please párolttal. The chicken pieces with seasoning strong, the good-sized pie. Subsequently comfortable with the steamed vegetables and choice.
Gourmand-pljeszkavicával even trying. The pie plate looks good elfelezett located between the salad mixture. The flat húspogácsákra strong pepper paste lubricated, it is placed fetasajtot. Harmonized, the flavors of the dish is spicy megizzasztja the hungry guests. By the time the last bite is swallowed, rather gorge. Who was the first act of the Mojo, the minutes or quarter of an hour to play with, to discover what else is hidden in the walls, the decorations, while pleasant music. On the one hand is not the first time we went there, on the other hand, the waitress brings the bill quickly, HUF 5470 on it. The dishes served with a mineral water and soft drinks consumed in a glass fiber. We leave a pleasant feeling.

The actors fled Missile Base
Since then, the Missile Base at the festival venue. The association initiated the festival organizers to get the area protected monument, which is the site of its kind in a twentieth. century fortress, which had the function to protect the airspace of Budapest. Since receiving the protection of monuments, since the association is to provide the monumental tasks of land use. This helped to strengthen and legitimize the Zsámbék summer theater operations in this 15-hectare area.
How long operated a summer theater, and the number of presentations will take place every summer in general?
Over the years the practice evolved to include eight or nine or ten new born theatrical presentation of the four summer months. This is also as much as a stone in a full theater performance during the season.
The organizers and associations can come Zsámbéki by invitation or application of the system instead of working?
IS-IS. In fact, constitutive relations for thirty years is a very distant past, a lot of stretch fibers that are integrally connected to each other and determine what is happening here and who is working here. For example, these stories Nagypál Gabor, who at the age of fifteen, Senta amateur theater as a student first Zsámbék was the first theater experience gained in practice Zsámbék. Later, in high school when he was here constantly, and then graduated from the college theater in Novi Sad, and I think one of the most talented generation of actors have. He is this year, the Vicar of Caligula's piece played here with great success.
How one to object? How is selection?
In any case, should be as limited in time, money, and especially the fact that we could fit into the profile, as characterized by a very specific character of the local performances.
How to describe this special character Zsámbék?
Zsámbék those young people who want to want to write home base, the opportunity to provide exciting ideas who conceived of the world. You embrace the movie theater, the borderline between the initiatives and solutions in search of a new theater troupe in which you want to gather together all that is valuable and exciting for generations before the theater's been said.
These theatrical traditions in Hungary, Hungarians beyond the border trying to combine those theaters, into which it tries to connect the Central and Eastern European flavors of theater arts and creative ways. It is a common practice for directors from other countries will be held here or in many productions in which actors in Hungary and Hungarians abroad Romanian, Slovak, Serbian and Polish actors are working together.
He mentioned that there was a war-themed festival. Every year they have summer theme?
It is not the whole festival is defined themes, but always within the festival was a small, themed festivals, in which the countries surrounding the art of theater presentation was aimed at. For example, Moliere's Don Juan was the first of which Saint George is a Hungarian and a Romanian Arad was a lecture in Kiev Ukraine, and each is a 30 years-as directed by young director involved in the same year.
As we were next to each other, these three performances, excitingly been terrible to feel that what is common thinking of the creators, and what is very specific, depending on which country you something, town is born. In subsequent years, from five different Shakespeare A Midsummer Night's Dream was presented. In this example, the Mongolian National Theatre was the farthest, but it was a piece of the Romanian National Theatre.
The theme of the year always was that we looked around the surrounding countries in the current repertory theater, looking for similarities. It is interesting that every year we find something, or a theme, or a piece that ran in theaters in many countries. In 2002, the war was everywhere for something on the subject, so come up to the war-themed festival Zsámbék. This is very much like to continue, but the last two years due to financial reasons, unfortunately this was not possible.
How popular lectures on how successful Zsámbék how the pieces are running full house? I think the audience zsámbékos also has its own character, according to the show.
Thank God, our audience is very hard, many people go back, which is also mainly due to thirty years of experience. And fortunately the public each year more spectators and a lot of young people is increasing. And the thing that Zsámbék and Budapest distance is such that summer, a fever for Zsámbéki come in, as if the city from one end to the other would go through, so the audience majority Pest idejáró view, and I think that here it a steady audience that there is a single character for decades, because those who come here will know that what you see here, which makes it safe. It is often such that it falls to one side, and asks what they're playing tonight, because that day is worth it. Comes, and you are sure that there is definitely a piece that you want to watch and know that you will not be disappointed.

Hello! German police officers stand up to the Hungarian colleagues next?
The German police officers just 62 years old, they can go to retire, but is already starting salary of 800 thousand HUF and will not be dismissed. Therefore, some colleagues of the Hungarian demands Rüdiger Reedwisch difficult to understand, the leader of the largest German rendőrszakszervezet. But if the legitimate demands of the Hungarian rendvédelmisek find stand beside them, said the union leader, who is also the Presidency of the European Union is a member of the Police.
Zentai Peter: Can you imagine a situation in Germany or France, police officers and demonstrators against them orchestrated by the police authorities?
Rüdiger Reedwisch: Yes. Such can not happen. But I know that in Hungary and Romania, the situation was so intense the law enforcement personnel and the respective governments, so that it happens.
Z.P.: strike also converted. Know about this?
R.R.: Sure. But this is even more unthinkable in our country. Because there is no right to strike. The German alaptörvényből result of law enforcement personnel and non-members may not show sztrájkolhatnak. I hear the nearby Hungary, a German police officer from a very distant prospect ...
ZP: You also know that we have police officers retired early again like to re-activate, and they want to eliminate the early retirement?
RR: We a priori unknown to the institution of early retirement. A German police officer is required to work until the age of 62 years. Assuming he is healthy. Now that you have dug myself into this whole problem, not Hungary, but also because of Romania, the Romanian colleagues expert assistance is requested from the European Union Police - I realized that almost összevethetetlen a German, usually a Western European and Eastern European law enforcement állományos a situation.
The obligations imposed on us on us and the privileges it was immutable, flowing from the Constitution.
ZP: So my obligation is to the age of 62 before nyugdíjaztathatják themselves. What a privilege to have you, what is the charge?
RR: The fact that the police can not be dismissed. Never. Only when ordinary sins. This is a career here, which is literally the end of the normal life a living. The state - the law says this out - you never can take away this privilégiumunkat. In exchange, however - at least for the professional staff members - there is no possibility béralkukra, the topic of this Act to pay for overtime up to the order, clarifying every detail. The staff are not civil servants, non-police employees working in positions, however, this does not apply. They are not "life" of a body of work in law enforcement.
ZP: Still looking for that one policeman in Germany? Leave him much time acting?
R.R.: This rangfüggő. The vocational college after completing mandatory minimum of 3 000 euros (about 800 thousand HUF) should receive an initial police force. This gross amount, which is almost the same as are net, if we take the example a family man. I'm already pretty high level position, Director of Police (Polizei Direktor) my rank, I only have two superior. Accordingly, the salary of EUR 7,000 - per month. Retired and then - like every other police officer - this involves 71 percent of basic salary for me.
Zentai Peter: Can you imagine a situation in Germany or France, police officers and demonstrators against them orchestrated by the police authorities?
Rüdiger Reedwisch: Yes. Such can not happen. But I know that in Hungary and Romania, the situation was so intense the law enforcement personnel and the respective governments, so that it happens.
Z.P.: strike also converted. Know about this?
R.R.: Sure. But this is even more unthinkable in our country. Because there is no right to strike. The German alaptörvényből result of law enforcement personnel and non-members may not show sztrájkolhatnak. I hear the nearby Hungary, a German police officer from a very distant prospect ...
ZP: You also know that we have police officers retired early again like to re-activate, and they want to eliminate the early retirement?
RR: We a priori unknown to the institution of early retirement. A German police officer is required to work until the age of 62 years. Assuming he is healthy. Now that you have dug myself into this whole problem, not Hungary, but also because of Romania, the Romanian colleagues expert assistance is requested from the European Union Police - I realized that almost összevethetetlen a German, usually a Western European and Eastern European law enforcement állományos a situation.
The obligations imposed on us on us and the privileges it was immutable, flowing from the Constitution.
ZP: So my obligation is to the age of 62 before nyugdíjaztathatják themselves. What a privilege to have you, what is the charge?
RR: The fact that the police can not be dismissed. Never. Only when ordinary sins. This is a career here, which is literally the end of the normal life a living. The state - the law says this out - you never can take away this privilégiumunkat. In exchange, however - at least for the professional staff members - there is no possibility béralkukra, the topic of this Act to pay for overtime up to the order, clarifying every detail. The staff are not civil servants, non-police employees working in positions, however, this does not apply. They are not "life" of a body of work in law enforcement.
ZP: Still looking for that one policeman in Germany? Leave him much time acting?
R.R.: This rangfüggő. The vocational college after completing mandatory minimum of 3 000 euros (about 800 thousand HUF) should receive an initial police force. This gross amount, which is almost the same as are net, if we take the example a family man. I'm already pretty high level position, Director of Police (Polizei Direktor) my rank, I only have two superior. Accordingly, the salary of EUR 7,000 - per month. Retired and then - like every other police officer - this involves 71 percent of basic salary for me.

'Day of Honey': Memoir of comfort, food in Mideast
By her own admission, Annia Ciezadlo is "always, always hungry." A journalist who spent years covering the Middle East, she once scuttled along the floor to stir a pot of pasta as bullets whizzed by her window in Beirut. She braved the streets of Baghdad for a taste of masquf, roasted fish she describes as "a giant, edible fishy halo."
In her memoir, "Day of Honey," Ciezadlo finds that food -- both the cooking and the eating -- is one of "the millions of small ways people cope" during times of war. The book is not a traditional war memoir, although there are scenes of breathless tension. Rather, Ciezadlo's focus is the view from the tables where people carry on with their lives.
"Food can provide a purpose and structure to your life when you don't feel like you have one," she said in an interview from her home in New York City, where she lives with her husband, journalist Mohamad Bazzi.
The couple, who met in New York City, were married in 2003 and moved immediately to Iraq, where Bazzi was assigned as the new Middle East bureau chief for Newsday. They spent their honeymoon in Baghdad and the early years of their married life in Beirut, the city where Bazzi was born. Over six years, Ciezadlo, 40, found freelance work writing for publications including the Christian Science Monitor and The New Republic, covering the wars, the assassinations and the violence that have helped shape the main narrative of the Middle East. She interviewed soldiers, militiamen and warlords. She met families and refugees. But she also found food. Loads of it, everywhere she looked.
"Other people saw more, did more, risked more," Ciezadlo writes. "But I ate more."
Her writing about food is both evocative and loving; this is a woman who clearly enjoys a meal. Upon tasting makdous, which are pickled and stuffed baby eggplants, she writes: "What god leant down and whispered in what mortal ear to put walnuts inside an eggplant? And then to eat it with wine? I wanted to cry."
A glass of Iraqi tea, under Ciezadlo's gaze, is a thing of beauty. A warm brew made with sun-dried limes is "oily, dense and yellow, like a glass of melted topaz."
Besides the simple pleasure of eating, the region's culinary offerings helped her understand the places and the customs she was covering -- a sensitivity that has drawn early praise for the book, her first, which was released last month with a modest print run of 14,500.
A glowing review in The New York Times called Ciezadlo's book "among the least political, and most intimate and valuable, to have come out of the Iraq war."
A gateway into different lives
Ciezadlo was enchanted with Iraq from the start, watching as the "women wearing abayas billowed along the sidewalks like black jellyfish." But in her quest to find the stories outside Baghdad's protected Green Zone, food always seemed to take center stage, or to provide a gateway into lives so different from her own.
She even finds the language of war ultimately boils down to food. "During peacetime, when we need metaphors, we raid the language of war," she writes. "But the idiom of wartime is food: cannon fodder, carnage, slaughterhouse. Buildings and people are pancaked, sandwiched, sardined. Perhaps it is because the destruction reminds us of the knowledge we spend our lives avoiding -- that we are all meat in the end."
But focusing on food also gave her the welcome opportunity to show that there is more to the Middle East than conflict. She wanted to offer another side of Lebanon than the images in guidebooks, which show either a battleground scarred by war or a frivolous playground where impossibly perfect women go club-hopping until dawn.
Inspiration struck one day as she stood at the sink of the Berkeley Hotel in Beirut, washing dishes in the tiny kitchenette and trying to think up something to make for dinner. "You can say the inspiration for the book literally came from the kitchen sink," Ciezadlo said, thinking back on the mounds of food she kept in her humble hotel room. There was zaatar, a blend of herbs, sesame seeds and salt that is a staple in Lebanon. There was wild fennel and garlic and Swiss chard and piles of "gorgeous little tiny cherry tomatoes."
"I wanted to show the complexity of Lebanon in a way that would be much more concrete that just saying, 'Oh yeah there's good stuff to eat and there are pretty girls'," she said. "I wanted to show that there is this lingering hangover from the war, but there is also this amazing generosity and culture and vibrance."
The Middle East is a world away from Ciezadlo's own upbringing. Born a "Polish-Greek-Scotch-Irish mutt from working-class Chicago," Ciezadlo is the daughter of a bitter divorce who spent a transient childhood in Indiana, Arizona and California. For a time, she and her mother lived in a homeless shelter in San Francisco where they found "livid, gelatinous little squares of something called 'tofu'."
Bazzi, her husband, was born in Lebanon but left when he was 10, fleeing Lebanon's disastrous civil war, and moved to New York. Unlike his wife, he had no interest in expanding his palate. A partial listing of the foods he refuses to eat includes fish of any kind and "beef that hasn't been cooked to resemble linoleum."
Ciezadlo took solace in cooking, but Bazzi, 35, refused to eat her "fancy food." "That provided a huge impetus for writing this book," she said. "I thought, if Mohamad wasn't interested in exploring this stuff, then maybe other people will be and I should go and try to find them."
The lesson, she says, was clear: "You may love somebody but nowhere does it say that they have to love everything that you love and eat everything that you eat."
The two lived through a tumultuous time in the Middle East, including Israel's 2006 war with the Shiite militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon and Beirut street battles in 2008 that raged outside the door of their apartment building.
Eager to be done with his assignment and move home to the United States, Bazzi watched helplessly as his wife insisted on staying in Beirut. "It was important for me to understand what he had grown up with and what the civil war was and had been about," Ciezadlo said. The couple soon moved back to New York, though, and now spend their time in the city and in Lebanon.
