Wow. Have you met David Cameron? George Osborne?

Timothy Geithner?

Re: Richard Koo on German attitudes (4.00 / 2)

Far from me to praise Timmy Geithner in any ordinary course of events, but Geithner understands what's going on much better than Merkel or Cameron do. If he did not, General Motors would be dead, and the UAW along with it. And it isn't, so he does.

Granted, "better than Angie and Dave from Marketing" is not a high bar to clear...

Just like Bernanke and Trichet.
