A number of prominent economists have raised concerns about Germany's approach to the Greek debt crisis, which Germans say reflects a need to force changes in Greece's economy so that it never again has such a crisis.

But in the interview with Die Zeit, Thomas Piketty went even farther, saying that the Germans are only in the strong economic position they are today because they benefited from the forgiveness of their neighbors after World War II.

I have had that very same conversation with my German friends over the past few months. They get very quiet when I bring it up. In fairness, the Greeks have been recalcitrant in getting their house in order but still, keeping their feet to the fire is not working.
