Since I agree with what you wrote in #22, this confuses me a bit.

This is the first time I've seen Spain's depression blamed on either litigiousness or price fixing. The most commonly claimed culprit is too much private debt AKA the real estate bubble, as you have already noted.

Germany also has fixed book prices, and they are doing relatively well.
