  1. The problem besetting Germany is/was the same as the problem besetting both Britain and Japan, they were living under the control of the USA. The USA which does not like competition.

  2. 13:58 At the time you were discussing, Germany had about four leading aircraft manufacturers and a similar number of leading engine designers and mfgs.

  4.  @cbdp  I think it was undermined. For instance, Germany had a very good banking system of small regional banks which worked well with SMEs. That has been largely destroyed in favour of large banks which are interested only in large firms and neglect small ones.

  8.  @peterrinas3862  Germany ran on Cheap Energy. It was not "Left Wing Policies", but NATO wars that caused the floods of refugees. Nor was it the Left Wing that decided it was a GOOD IDEA to blow up the Nordstream pipelines.

  12.  @peterrinas3862  As Kissinger put it: (Or words to that effect) "To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, to be a friend is fatal." I am older than you, I worked in many dying companies in Britain. Post Margaret Thatcher, there were many of them. I applied for a job in a company that was not dying (It made machinery for making pet food.) I submitted a resume of my previous jobs, the interviewer said:" There is one thing I don't like about your resume, nearly every company you worked for has gone bankrupt!" I had to explain to him, that when companies were going out of business, staff left, but they still had orders to fulfil, so they had to employ people like me, on a temporary basis, to finish off the work. Many of the companies I worked for, were in the process of moving their work to Germany. I think you were 30-50 years ahead of us.
