Por qué los alemanos lo hacen mejor

Emerging from a collection of city-states one hundred and fifty years ago, no other country has had such a turbulent political history as Germany or enjoyed such prosperity in such a short time. Today, when much of the world is succumbing to authoritarianism and democracy itself is undermined at its heart, Germany stands as a bulwark and benchmark for decency and stability. Blending equal parts personal travel, anecdotes, and compelling empirical evidence, brilliant British author John Kampfner unfurls in these pages an entertaining and critical exploration of a country many in the West still prefer to hate. Raising important questions for our post-Brexit landscape, Kampfner asks why, despite its flaws, Germany has become a model for others, while other established democracies like Great Britain fail to meet contemporary challenges. Masterfully blending memory, history, and travelogue, Why Germans Do It Better offers a rich and witty portrait of a timelessly fascinating country.
