`Passionate yet carefully-argued, Why the Germans
Do it Better is a must-read'
James Hawes, bestselling author of The Shortest History of Germany
forensic and highly readable account of Germany's ability to get things right. This should be compulsory reading for every politician, civil servant and commentator:
John Simpson, BBC World Affairs Editor
compelling account of how, in two generations, a country adopted the principles of liberal democracy, then mastered them, and now has more to teach us than we might wish to admit:
Baroness Catherine Ashton, former EU High Representative
and former Leader of the House of Lords
Emerging from a collection of City states 150 years ago, no other
country has had as turbulent a history as Germany or enjoyed so
much prosperity in such a short time frame. Today, as much of the
world succumbs to authoritarianism, and as democracy is
undermined by misinformation and short-termism, Germany
stands as a bulwark for decency, competence and stability.
Mixing personal journey and anecdote with compelling empirical
evidence, this is a provocative and entertaining exploration of the
country many still love to hate. Part memoir, part history, part
travelogue, Why the Germans Do it Better is a rich and witty
portrait of an eternally fascinating country.
