Germany's Economic Evolution: Challenges and Changes

This chapter examines Germany's rise as a dominant economic force in Europe, focusing on its post-World War II recovery and integration with East Germany. It discusses the influence of the EU, global markets, and political shifts, particularly the rise of right-wing parties and changes in energy and immigration policies since the 2011 euro crisis. The narrative contextualizes these developments within historical events like the Fukushima disaster, the growth of the Green Party, and the lasting impact of collective guilt from World War II.
