Perdão de dívida à Alemanha e à Grécia

Para os tontos, tipo Piketty, que falam do perdão da dívida alemã no seguimento da segunda guerra mundial (só o contexto histórico já devia fazer corar de vergonha quem usa tal argumento), exigindo igual tratamento para os gregos: «What's more, a huge event is completely ignored here. In 1948, Germany reformed its currency in a spectacular fashion, giving birth to the Deutsche mark. The change wiped out "approximately 90% of Germany's cash holdings and deposits," according to economist H. J. Dernburg, who was writing in 1954. It was that event, not the 1953 agreement, that provided the most dramatic reduction to German debt levels — but not without the extreme pain for anyone with any savings.»
