"And yet Germany is very productive so I guess they work smarter, not longer."

I don't understand how in a technology forum this idea is so popular.

Germany is more productive because it has more technology. That technology is the result of investment, not of austerity. So, now, if you want to change Greece, you know what to do.



> German is more productive because it has more technology.

Right, they work smarter by using technology. I did not address the policies that created that situation, let alone attempt to contrast Germany and Greece.
