Is a "Rhenish capitalism" still viable at the beginning of the 21st century and does it offer a road to the New Economy different from the one, in which the standards are set by the U.S.? 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 fascinating 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 provocative book for all interested in comparative economics and those who have been inclined to dismiss the German Model as outmoded and weak. 410 0$aMaking sense of history ;$vVolume 6. 606 $aIndustrial organization$zGermany 606 $aIndustrial organization$zUnited States 607 $aGermany$xEconomic conditions 607 $aGermany$xSocial conditions 615 0$aIndustrial organization 615 0$aIndustrial organization 676 $a338.0943 700 $aAbelshauser$b Werner$0565300 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797172403321 996 $aThe dynamics of German industry$93692830 997 $aUNINA
