Germany's Recession Risk: They Have Themselves to Blame

"It should be no surprise to anyone that Germany's export-driven economy would suffer when so many European economies are themselves entering another recession. Indeed, they have nobody but themselves to blame for it after preaching (indeed requiring) spending cuts and tax hikes on virtually a continent-wide basis.

"So far, the Germans have avoided any fiscal contractions of their own but that doesn't make them immune to negative shocks from abroad. The road ahead doesn't look much brighter with both the UK and Spain showing negative growth and rising unemployment.

"At some point, even the Germans may have to admit that when you impose austerity you get economic contraction. Unfortunately, that point hasn't been reached yet."
