Until recently, Germany appeared to be a paragon of economic and political success. But recent events from Germanys dependence on Russian gas to its car industrys delays in the race to electric have undermined this view.

In Kaput, Wolfgang Mnchau argues that the weaknesses of Germanys economy have, in fact, been brewing for decades. The close connections between the countrys industrial and political elite have left Germany technologically behind, over-reliant on authoritarian Russia and China, and with little sign of being able to adapt to the digital realities of the twenty-first century. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of Europes most important economy.
