On those trumponomics ...
While it is nice to see that someone compares the US to Germany and references a world banker's blog for this, it doesn't make the blogger's entry any more correct. The reasons for Germany's increase in productivity was mostly due to harmonization of currencies (single currency) and the removal of trade barriers between Germany's states (remember: Germany is a federation of smaller states), namely the removal of taxes for inter-Germany trade. And that a politician of Roosevelt's party misrepresents facts to push for his own agenda isn't anything new. Also, that Kaiser Wilhelm vastly increased the naval fleet of Germany and thus increased demand for local steel and coal, which of course boosted economy, but also led to the first world war, isn't an example of economic nationalism.
I am going to remove the trumponomics quote, as Germany under the Kaiser Wilhelm is not an example of economic nationalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.127.22.246 (talk) 17:07, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
