The aid package for Greece has divided German businesses into two camps. On the one hand are small and family-run companies, who say the German economy is taking on unforseeable risk by bailing out Greece, and that the European Central Bank is being turned into a so-called bad bank.On the other hand are the large firms, promoting the euro's rescue even at the cost of billions.
