My two cents : I have found German companies to be some of the best people to work with, does it have anything to do with Germany being too succesful ?
As for money printing, the Germans know a thing or two about its consequences down the road ...
Germany is already experiencing rapid real estate price increases as a result of zero interest rates. Is Mr. Posen who says "Germany is ripping off the world", suggesting that Germany should instead rip off its own citizens with artificially high house prices and monetary theft aka QE of the kind seen in the UK and the US ?
