This was written by a knowledgeable, dissident, ex-patriot German of humour and erudition - currently in Moscow and latterly resident in Kharkov Eastern Ukraine. It is the confession of a senior Bundesbank clerk to Washington to arrange the logistics of the return of the German gold with Ben Bernanke in the closing months of his Fed tenure. It is hilarious and probably very close to the nub of the matter too.
There's a list of many of his essays here and an archive of his old site here - careful, there's some deep stuff. His 'To be a German series' is particularly enlightening. He gifted me the final part but has requested that it not be published as he may need to return to Germany, such is the state of freedom of speech in the Federal Republic.
