I believe Professor Tooze is becoming one of the most influential economic voices on the global scene. He does not just provide opinions on world issues, but instead he presents his thoughts based upon history and the best data that he can find.

His best works, The Deluge and Crashed, are already "must-reads" for any student or scholar who seeks to see and understand the bigger picture about global economics -- whether it be about today, or after World War I concerning Germany and Europe.

I thoroughly enjoy reading his provocative articles, his deeply researched and informative books, and his excellent sub-stack work. His work is edgy, sharp and boldly presented.

Professor Tooze, remember, write for the people and the world at-large, and not for any awards, or affirmation, or glorification given from the economic establishment! It's not worth it!!

Remember, Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer never won the Nobel Prize for Science, but they changed the world more fundamentally than all the Nobel winners put together. Remember that. Professor Tooze, stay true to your inner voice - you will never regret it!!

Great piece, as always.

Do you think that there is a chance for the rescue package recently approved in the US to end up causing higher-than-desirable inflation and, as a result, money continues to flow into the EU?
