Gray zones

"The author, one of Germany's leading economic historians, analyzes the special features of the German path to the New Economy as it faces the American challenge. He paints a picture of Germany Inc. and looks at the durability of some of its structures and the mentalities that undergird it. He sees a "culture clash" and argues against an underestimation of the dynamics of the German industrial system. A book for all interested in comparative economics and those who have been inclined to dismiss the German Model as outmoded and weak."--BOOK JACKET.
