Thanks for your review of Germany's post-WWI economic woes! Have you ever looked at the total percentage of reparations vs. post-WWI GDP? It suggests that the real story might be more complicated.

Niall Ferguson talked about it in "High Financier: the Life and Times of Siegmund Warburg" and it caught me by surprise. Mr. Ferguson suggests that since reparations were such a small percentage of GDP that the common (at the time as now) perception that they were overwhelming was much more psychological than economic.
