Why Germany's Confidence Is Shattered and Its Economy Is Kaput

Totally pointless article that seems to imply Germany should act more like the US on energy, immigration and industry. It can not, because it is not the US. And thank god for that.

There is no magic obvious path for countries like Germany, Japan, South Korea or Taiwan as the influence of US, over everything they did in the last 70 years recedes. It will take time to work out. In the meantime thousands of articles will be written about how they don't know what they are doing and that what they should do is obvious. All worth throwing in a dustbin.
