Germany is not completely blameless for the current economic crisis affecting Europe, and the austerity policies it proposes for the weak economies on the periphery of the eurozone are unsustainable. ++ "A fundamental problem of the policy of austerity for the periphery is that it does not deal with the structural imbalance within the monetary union." ++ Two solutions are proposed to rectify this imbalance, the first is to aim for a "good euro," the second is for the peripheral nations to exit the eurozone.
