‘With vivid anecdote, telling detail and characteristically robust language, Wolfgang Münchau excoriates the failure of Germany’s corporate neo-mercantilism to prepare for the economic challenges of today and tomorrow’ - Timothy Garton Ash, author of Homelands: A Personal History of Europe ‘Wolfgang Münchau is one of the sharpest minds in British and European journalism. In Kaput he tells the compelling story of Germany’s economic wonder gone wrong – for now at least. For those of us who never under-estimate German ingenuity and competitiveness this is an eye-opener, an accessible account of the troubles and also the potential in Europe’s greatest economy’ - Gavin Esler ‘A compelling new book about the end of the German economic miracle’ - Larry Elliott, Guardian
