The finance ministers of Germany and France are meeting today in Berlin, which is likely to spell the end of what has so far been a quiet August for the European debt crisis.

Marketplace’s Stephen Beard says September is going to hold some big questions. Will the European Central Bank put together its rescue plan? Will Greece get its next chunk of money to allow it to stay in the euro? And will the German constitutional court rule in favor of the bailout fund?
