I was told that lots of Germans tend to carry larger denomination notes than their neighbours, and that this was as a result of the scar left on the German psyche by the hyperinflation of the Weimar era.

Sorry to my english friends for using "and" at the beginning of a sentence.<br /><br />Now LB's awesome link he posted above made me think, do you guys have economic cultural factors you apply to your analysis, for a specific country or region? Sorry to pick on the Japanese but this is an example. They can perfect doing the same thing over and over, but believe they are not the best of innovators. Would be interested to hear some views, of different regions/countries.

Imagine if the UK had been going down the shitter for 20 years, and now you get to vote...and your two choices are Michael Howard or John Prescott...in that scenario, I'd vote for Clarkson, John Terry, Ricky Gervais....<br /><br />So I find the Grillo vote both perfectly explicable, and also offering some hope, and hopefully some lessons for the mainstream parties. In retrospect, it's clear that if the PD had put forward Renzi, rather than Bersani (who looks like he's teleported in from a 1960s picket line), the landscape would probably look very different today.VandalsStoleMyHandlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34323687.post-84773579118798902272013-02-27T12:30:54.957+00:002013-02-27T12:30:54.957+00:00Wolfie Smith's leading the Turin Popular Front...Wolfie Smith's leading the Turin Popular FrontAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34323687.post-68279070441560512392013-02-27T12:18:06.155+00:002013-02-27T12:18:06.155+00:00C Says
