Schäuble’s grandmother

Abstract

What rules are we talking about? In an article by Jochen Bittner, a collaborator with the prestigious weekly Die Zeit, published on 18th July, 2015 in the New York Times and titled It’s time for Greece to go, we read that “patience is rapidly wearing thin since the Greeks have shown with the referendum that, according to them, no rule can be considered to be set in stone”. The question of rules is central to the European cultural dispute. Mainly because it is not clear who is establishing the rules.
