Francesco Saraceno is furious and dismayed at Hans-Werner Sinn,
who says among other things that deflation in southern Europe is
necessary to restore competitiveness. Why not inflation in Germany, he
asks?
But Saraceno fails to
understand German logic here. As they see it, their economy was in the
doldrums at the end of the 1990s; they then cut labor costs,
gaining a huge competitive advantage, and began running gigantic trade
surpluses. So their recipe for global recovery is for everyone to
deflate, gaining a huge competitive advantage, and begin running
gigantic trade surpluses.
You may think there’s some kind of arithmetic problem here, but in Germany they have their own intellectual tradition."
