What is going wrong with the largest economy in Europe? It accounts for roughly one-third of the continent’s total manufacturing output but since 2020 there’s been very little growth. Some people suggest the problems facing the country have been brewing for decades. It’s argued Germany has been slow to adapt to modern ways of doing business and hasn’t kept up with industrial competition from abroad. Evan Davis is joined by a panel of experts to understand how much trouble the German economy is in, why it’s struggling and what it can do to revive itself.<\/p>\n
