BIO
"Wolfgang speaks with authority, sophistication and humour on the complexities of the European economy and the Eurozone crisis. Is the Eurozone going to survive, and if so, in what form? What scenarios should investors prepare for? What is Berlin’s perspective? How can we read the policies of the European Central Bank? What can we expect of the European Stability Mechanism? What’s the future of Greece and what are the implications for the rest of the world?"
