Sinossi
Nessun altro paese al mondo, al pari della Germania, ha attraversato in un brevissimo arco di tempo una storia tanto turbolenta, riuscendo al contempo a raggiungere così alti livelli di ricchezza. E oggi, ad appena 150 anni dall’unificazione, mentre nel mondo trionfano nuovi autoritarismi e la democrazia sembra sempre più indebolita, si erge come baluardo di moralità e stabilità. Unendo esperienze e aneddoti personali a efficaci evidenze empiriche, questo libro è un’esplorazione critica e divertente di una nazione che molti, in Occidente, ancora fraintendono. John Kampfner solleva interrogativi decisivi sulle prospettive europee post-Brexit e si chiede perché, nonostante i difetti, la Germania resti ancora oggi il modello da emulare mentre altri paesi – Italia inclusa – sembrano fallire le sfide della modernità. Parte racconto personale, parte diario di viaggio, parte resoconto storico, Perché i tedeschi lo fanno meglio è il ricco e acuto ritratto di un paese dal fascino eterno.

Recensioni
Enjoyed the book but the title is a bit misleading This is a fascinating account of post-war Germany right up to and including COVID 19. It’s a very balanced account with both positive and negative comparisons between Germany and the rest of the world, particularly the UK. Germany is not as well dev Leggi tutto
The title of the book can be distorting at best, and misleading at worst for two main reasons. Firstly, it takes for granted the fact that the Germans, (as country, society, economy, national football team?) or Germany in general, is a more successful and prosperous country that offers to its people Leggi tutto
I absolutely love Grrmany, it's one of my favourite countries that I've visited - having enjoyed trips to both Berlin and Munich. So this book was always going to appeal. The main crux of the authors thesis of why German is better than Britain pretty much stems from how both countries treat the events Leggi tutto
this is a modern essay/book looking at modern Germany as it reaches its 150th anniversary in 2021 and how it has had to cope with post war rebuilding and reunification in 1990 and how the German nation has reacted and dealt with different issues. well worth reading and get a balanced view.
Fantastic detail of life in Modern Germany. Makes a strong case for German society yet doesn’t shy away from its shortcomings. A serious study of Germany despite the slightly flippant title. Accessible and highly readable narrative with real journalists touch. Highly recommended
I found it assumed a lot of prior knowledge - my degree is in German but it still made me feel uninformed at times. It seemed more a study of Merkel than the country. It was also very balanced in identifying Germany’s flaws as well as its strengths...but the upshot is I now have a more negative view Leggi tutto
An examination of how Germany operates and its mature approach to problem solving without the level of populism and nationalism that has bedevilled other countries in recent years. Not all is perfect in Germany it would seem but their long termism and ‘ social contract' that capitalism must produce Leggi tutto
