This brief explores the historical and ideological foundations of German economic thinking and discusses how it differs from mainstream international economic discourse. The authors argue that there is more to Germany’s distinctive approach to the euro crisis than its historical experience of hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic and simple national interest. There is an ideological edifice behind German economic orthodoxy, they conclude, and Germany’s partners must engage with it.
