“Psilocybin, in contrast to any other drug we’ve tested, has this massive effect on the whole brain that was pretty unexpected,” said Dr. Nico Dosenbach, a professor of neurology at Washington University and a senior author of the study. “It was quite shocking when we saw the effect size.”

'Yet there is another feature that is almost never viewed as a problem in “respectable circles” in Germany, or elsewhere: its huge structural savings surpluses, which have, of course, financed its huge current account surpluses.
