Special Episode: Philipp Mattheis on Germany's Downward Spiral
Manage episode 442022029 series 3435479
For decades now, Germany has stood as the doughty centurion at the gates of European civilisation. A nation of recyclers, engineers, and a super-sensible, hyper-dull political class.
But since 2022, German exceptionalism has taken a helluva beating. The country has been haemorrhaging its manufacturing base, and with it, the social consensus that lasted more than thirty years is beginning to unwind. What are the long roots of this crisis?
This week, The Lads are joined by Philipp Mattheis to discuss Germany's downward spiral. And its future.
Today, the trains literally do not run on time. So with the rise of the AfD, will the country soon hire a leader who can make those trains run on time?
