The implication of Schauble’s proposition, therefore, is that Euroland should shrink to a governable dimension. In essence, it recapitulates the contrast between the Greater Germany dreamed of by idealists in 1848 and the Smaller Germany created by Bismarck in 1871.
由此看来，朔伊布勒提议的重要意义在于，欧元区应该回归可治理的较小规模。事实上，该提议正是 “ 大德国 ” 与 “ 小德国 ” 之间的强烈对比。前者由理想主义者于 1848 年所构想，后者由俾斯麦（ Bismarck ）于 1871 年提出。
