German economic performance has astonished the world. At the turn
of the century, Germany had been written off as the sick man of
Europe. No more. Even as most of its European neighbors and OECD
trading partners have struggled in the face of a turbulent global
economy, the German economy has thrived. How does Germany do it?
What is the secret? In The Seven Secrets of Germany, authors David
Audretsch and Erik Lehmann answer these very questions. This book
reveals, explains, and analyzes seven key aspects of Germany, its
economy, and its society that have provided the nation with
considerable buoyance in an era of global turbulence. These seven
features range from the key and strategic role played by small
firms to world leadership in its skilled and trained labor force,
an ability to harness global opportunities through leveraging local
resources, public infrastructure, the capacity to deal with change
and confront challenges in a flexible manner, and the emergence of
a remarkably positive identity and image. The Seven Secrets of
Germany have insulated the country from long-term economic
deterioration and enabled it to take advantage of the opportunities
afforded from globalization rather than succumbing as a victim to
globalization. This insights can be instructive to other countries
and refute the defeatist view that globalization leads to an
inevitable deterioration of the standard of living, quality of
life, and degree of economic prosperity.
