Patrick Barron said in an interview conducted by Merlin Rothfeld and John O'Donnell on Power Trading Radio that he believes Germany should leave the European Union, reinstate the Deutschmark and declare itself a free-trade nation.
Barron also explored these issues, and how they relate to global dollar dominance, in a two-part interview for Mises Weekends. Here is Part I, and here is Part II.

While that make perfect sense it isn't going to happen. An 'independent' Germany will lead to howls that the spiked Prussian helmets would be taken out of the crates in the attic by people IN Germany and whats best is Germany Plays Its Part As A Good European Citizen.
