Germany has risen from the Eurozone debacle as the country with the strongest and most robust economy. Germany has risen from the Eurozone debacle as the country with the strongest and most robust economy and as the leader with the final say on the policies being put in place to save the currency. The power of Germany; although few people would dispute that it is Europe's unmatched leader, equally important for the long term survival of the euro are the dynamics of other Eurozone countries. One of the more interesting features of the history of the euro is that Germans, although broadly pro-European, were relatively sceptical of the currency from its inception even though they would eventually be one of the biggest beneficiaries of it. German policymakers helped to make the euro palatable to the public by trying to institutionalize Germany's ordo-liberal system of governance across Europe as a whole.
