I just wrote this article in Spanish in which I try to explain to a non Jewish Spanish audience what makes me a Jew. I apologize to my English readers that my Spanish blog has many more articles. It does because Spanish is my native language and it is easier for me to write in Spanish.

This is the year in which Europe will either fall apart or emerged stronger. I give it 75% that it emerges as a stronger union but the risk of collapse is still there. Germany has the key to solve the problem because of the size of its economy, its saving rate and its export volume. Germany has to decide on whether it continues to transfer some of its wealth in order to create markets for its exports or it let’s Europe fall apart and ends up with an overvalued currency and deteriorated markets. Already today it started paying negative interest rates which is a prelude in my view to a huge rise in the DM should it be born again. Tough choice. I think Germany can actually both save Europe and make money by buying underpriced Italian and Spanish bonds and selling them after stabilization. It can do what the FED did with many financial institutions, make a profit by providing much needed liquidity at a critical time.

I’d be very curious to see a translation of the article.

Un articulo muy interesante.
As for the translations, maybe you could include a ‘translate this’ option in your feedflare, or some other solution along that line. The translations are far from perfect, but maybe useful.
