"Eine Währung, die man retten muss, ist keine mehr!"
Prof. Wilhelm Hankel
"A currency that needs to be rescued isn't a currency anymore!"
I don't remember any personality with a considerable media presence in Germany, other than Professor Hankel, who crusaded against the Euro from the very beginning. I deeply admire him for having the courage of his convictions. One may disagree with him on certain (even fundamental) issues, however, he is seriously seeking the truth, the personal encounter of which determines his convictions rather than the reassuring scent of power-backing and the current consensus.
More of him in my post The Euro and After.
