They actually work and not sleep half the day.

Fiscal conservativity
Free market
Strong currency
Rational decisions
Work ethics
As least welfare state as possible
Deep understanding of economy
Weak unions and other socialist entities

Not for long. Too bad Merkel didn't have enough confidence in her own people to believe that they could overcome the challenges presented by a lower birthrate.

> UK behind Italy

How does it feel being formerly great britain, bongs?

When you force every possible EU rule in favor of your country this kind of bullshit happens.
Good thing at least britbongs realized it and decided to btfo merkel

Italy has a huge manufacturing sector. The UK is mostly a service economy. The other surprising country in the list is the Netherlands

...

I'm more impressed by the Netherlands. Considering they only got like 16 million pop.

It's their work ethic.

Imagine a construction worker. In Spain they might do 15 doors a day. Working 5 hours a day, this is so they can take siesta sure. But it is also so they will work more days. Giving them more money.

A German construction worker would make 30 doors a day. And he would work 12 hours a day.

Why wouldn't you as a Slovene move to Germany? Some areas of Slovenia were regarded as a Germanic territory by the third Reich, and it appears they're doing far better than your country unless you work in tourism or service.

So why not move there? Isn't that the beauty of the EU?

LOL good one

>mfw see my country almost as high as france

feels good man

I'm pretty sure it will start crumbling soon.
Considering more EU exits, refugee leeches, civil crisis, falling stock market because the puppet head was executed

wrong: the post

Germans aren't even in the top 10 hardest working people.

Schlomo needed a strongarm in Europe to force all the niggers and kebabs into Europe and decided on Germany due to its history with the Jews.

The eu artificially keeps them as the richest nation to keep all the power under one hand.

different genes?

Because the Germanic race is the smartest race.

What table is that? Exports? It isn't GDP...

Germans are good at everything, excluding politics.

GERMANIC MASTER RACE

Spaniards do have a siesta but start early morning and finish late into the evening

i'm proud of you netherlands

Exports by country.

Correct, are you Spaniard?maybe Yes

Because the single currency overwhelmingly benefits the German economy at the expense of almost every other eurozone country

Also because they were rebuilt from the ground up by the Soviets and Americans after ww2 for use in cold war politics

What about imports? Who imports more refugees?

It will crumble soon, the current generation is lazy as fuck and certainly won't be able to hold up that standard.

because the way the Euro is set up, it mostly benefits Germany

> Slovene lands
> German Reich
Germans have a habit of treating anyone outside their ethnic group as third rate humans. They are not pleasant to be around. The ones in Switzerland are annoying, arrogant and detestable at best. Also, the distinct culture and language of the Slovenes merit their own country free of German or Balkan influence and destruction. Unfortunately, being under constant occupation for 1000 years, they don't value their independence as much as they should.

> So why not move there?

You need to speak their contorted language and accept discrimination wherever you go. The EU can't remove that, even if they tried. It's the reason the Syrians won't get work anytime soon - they can't communicate with the average German.

Italian economy was actually pretty great in the nineties

Once upon a time you could say "UK, France, Germany and Italy" in the same breath and no one would laugh at the inclusion of Italy

High wages. Well it depends. Most wages haven't risen in the last decade.
Fiscal conservativity? Hell no.
The german state wastes money in the billions.
As least welfare state? Heck have you ever talked to some germans. We have one of the biggest welfare states in the whole world.
An average salary will be taxed at least 40%.
( Included social securtiy blabla)
Sales tax is 19% etc....
Weak unions? Most unions are quite mighty for example the IG Metall, Verdi etc.

Although this might be correct, but I asure you that many Germans avoid work like the devil holy water.
All in all the work ethic is really good, but only compared to others.

Second this.
Either way it can't go on like that.
Maybe it will start with the Deutsche Bank kicking the bucket or else, but a new economy crisis is overdue.


Halt die Ohren steif!

Most of these are done in the UE and the UE is a german association who fit only german interest and kill concurrencie
+american aid after and during the war( americans protect major german industry)

Eurozone benefics them and their industry

>Why is Germany so efficient?

They're not, productivity reports consistently show German workers are roughly the same or sometimes even worse than other Europeans when It comes to productivity.

They simply work more hours and live in a country with the infrustrcture built around strong export industries in a currency union that currently has a monetary policy that favours those who export.

If the EU were to dissolve it would harm Germany the most. Germany has the most lose If the EU collapsed. People always say that Geece, Italy, Spain, etc are fucking lazy (and they are but that's not the whole story), and are mooching off Germany simply because they're the richest, but they're the richest BECAUSE of the EU, and Greece, Italy, Spain can't get any better BECAUSE of the EU. The disconnect between monetary and fiscal policy in the EU is keeping Southern Europe on lifesupport and preventing it from getting any better.

Shell

Germans have been bred over the centuries to be the perfect serfs. They work hard and never question anything. That's why Merkel is still in power, the simple act of opposing her would require a breakthrough in German philosophy and thought.

>Why is Germany so efficient?

because we are pragmatic not ideological.
We did not went full-capitalism in the 80s like the US and UK who killed their industry.
We did not go full-socialist like france who killed their competitiveness.

Now we are somewhere in the middle with a large industrial and manufacturing sector.


We're also risk averse, meaning we have many family companies in their third or fourth generation who just dont want any outside influence and dont want to sell their company to some investment fund for a onetime payout.
There is even a tirm for it: "hidden champions", small companies nobody know who are extremely spezialized, mostly family companies, and are #1 in the world in what they do.
Like camera lenses for those expensive movie cameras and shit like that you never hear about.

Because Germans live there.

SOLO,check this

This. It's sad to see Australians are better informed than Europeans.

Germany has a very high quality gene pool (the white part).

Where's that chart from OP?

you are misinformed as fuck

germany is a clusterfuck of regulations.
german welfare state is fucking HUGE.
unions and general socialist sentiment ate really big and influential.
total taxation is among the highest in the world.

Dear fellow frenchie,
the EU/ UE was founded with the intention of creating a economic union to avoid innereuropean conflict.
The french conquered the german states in a time of your growing population and got you ass beaten 3 times in a row by the German Reich.
The Eu was your insurance against us crossing the Rhein and mutilate you again.
Go and fucking read some Heinsohn.

I took it from here. The references come from the CIA factbook

god damn

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_exports

Thank you medpack

I just realized a Hong Kong (a fucking flower) is beating India, a nuclear power over a billion people.

Curries a shit.

Shut it down!

Hong Kong is just a legal loop hole,which Chinese use to start up companies,as the Republic of China decentivizes native companies.

Because the US spent everything they had to rebuild Germany after WWII

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan

apperently that is true.
Iam currently working in the logistics branche as a part-time job, our forklift drivers do exactly that, they play forklift simulator at home.
Don't know whats wrong with them...

where the hell is bongland?!

Your first part is plain bullshit, on the second I can agree.
We are nothing special. UK/US industry died because they weren't competitive.
Why weren't they?
Because they regulated a lot and the british car industry built the wrong cars and had no grasp of quality control.
We went full capitalism in the 50s. Ludwig Erhard was a fucking genius.
France is a different story.

Because the EU is all about benefiting Germany.

loans. We paid debts shlomo

Last time i checked alsace lorraine was ours and except 1870(because we were in the shrink of a civil war) you loose every time.

Like half of the northem and eastern france is land conquered by french over german.
I can't wait for a second palatine.


You believe too much in the germanboo Sup Forumstard read history book and you will see the difference between france and german

hey, we weren't so bad until 1933 dude.

Hong Kong is a trade port that services pretty much all of Asia. Goods come to Hong Kong and pass through before they are sent elsewhere, that's why It has so many exports for a country of 7 million people.

Almost all of those goods that were 'exported' from Hong Kong weren't actually made in Hong Kong.

because it weakens all of us to remain competitive.

France and UK got more of the Marshall plan.

Imagine how strong the German economy would've been if they weren't blackmailed into bailing out France, Italy, Spain and England in 1990 to be allowed to buy Eastern Germany from the Soviets and unify.

RIP Deutschmark, the most powerful economic force in history.

>We went full capitalism in the 50s. Ludwig Erhard was a fucking genius.

you have no idea what you're talking about.
>several mandatory state-owned insurance schemes
>absurdly high tax rates
>welfare programs out the ass
this isn't "full capitalism". this is the opposite. not quite as bad as the scandicucks or frogs, but still FAR away from USA, chile or singapore levels of capitalism.

Did you forget WW1?

Also why is OP posting about exports only?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)

>You believe too much in the germanboo Sup Forumstard read history book and you will see the difference between france and german
It's interesting how much Frenchies are desillusionated.

>Germans have a habit of treating anyone outside their ethnic group as third rate humans. They are not pleasant to be around. The ones in Switzerland are annoying, arrogant and detestable at best.

That's some good input, thanks for sharing it. I don't have much of an understanding of how the "Alp" culture works, when I went through that area I just saw it all as Europe with different languages here and there.

It seems very strange to have a country that has multiple native tongues, but we are probably on the same path. Some areas of rural Texas speak English, Spanish, and German, but those are very isolated pockets in the Hill Country.

you can't really blame us for WW1, blame austria and hungary for that bullshit,

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan

Look at the fucking infograph in your link. Germany received only half the support as France and only a third of what you gave Britain.
Oh and the patents you stole from the Reichspatentamt had 4 times the worth you gave us in aid.
I really love the US of A but seriously educate yourself.

That explains why this thread is so retarded. Germans claiming that the American economy is inferior when in real life it makes considerably more money than theirs.

...

Because of €. Every state that uses it for its currency has no choice but to be the recepient of german exports and see its domestic equivalent in the same industries slowly dying off. Or at least not being able to compete with german products and pray to God that they keep their existing market share.

Tl,dr - evil Nazis.

>Also why is OP posting about exports only?
Because exports shows how competitive the products of a country are in the global market

>Soviets
>Rebuilding anything in Eastern Germany
>Not raping it

>because we are pragmatic not ideological.
>invented socialism, communism and natsoc

Germany is responsible for most ideologies. I'd even throw anarchy in there simply because of how influential Stirner was.

AFD election is coming brother

You loose praticaly every war against us, it's like 90% of french victory, whatvare you talking abou

what are we even supposed to be?
evil Nazis or stupid U.S/refugee cucks?
The eternal Nazicuck?

So the real question is why Germany is so shit.

Euro is not only German currency, but only germany prints it.
>Inflation affects every eurozone country expect German, which actually gets even richer.
They are masters in jewish tricks.

The reason you succeed is Market liberalism was your 50s and 60s instead of total depression and degeneracy. Your see-sawing French and English retardation is part of why you are declining, not part of why you are still ahead by a bit.

Germany didnt exist until 1870.

we dont make things anymore...

nice meme, East Germany had a ridiculous amount of money invested into it by the USSR

East Germany had a higher HDI than West Germany at a point in the 80's purely because East Germany was meant to represent how successful socialist countries could become so the warsaw pact countries put everything on the line for it

>Some areas of Slovenia were regarded as a Germanic territory by the third Reich
So fucking what? I couldn't give a shit about what they "regarded" as "germanic". Nazi's were a bunch of butthur faggots. Daily reminder that the second largest city in Austria is Graz-a wholly slavic name.

Thanxxx

Here have some freedom cuz 4th of july.
>youtube.com/watch?v=ecIVIFLo0uE

thats just not true, inflation is as bad here as it is everywhere else in the eurozone.

The French nation and the 6 French blooded men left are a grant from 160 of Angolosphere pity, the term of which has been up for 10

You ro realize they got pretty much fuck all?

Both! you have bi polar personality disorder

At least they've found their purpose in life which is more than most.

>Why is Germany so efficient?
About import, they are the entry point of the EU in regard of custom.
Sea shipment real entry point: Netherlands. But airmail almost always get in Cologne before being dispatch to other country.
Or at least that what is said to you, sometimes I felt like it was even never actually in Cologne, but only the custom validation was tracked in there.

I dont know about export, but I'm pretty sure they fuck us good in the process, having their economy getting bigger from a lot of transaction made outside of their country.

Friend I'm not a wehrboo I'm just asking why not move there for the economic opportunities? If you speak the language and understand the culture why not make money in the strong economy?

I'd say blame the 80+ year old bag of dirt that was the austro hungarian emperor that didnt react fast enough

Germany is a dirigiste economy. It is export led.

It doesn't follow the Neoliberal Anglo model that is forced on the rest of us.

what is marshall plan

Is America the most millennial country?

US export:
food
lots of small cheap things

German export
technology, machines
few high priced products

pretty much this.

Germoney essentially extorts money from other european countries by taking advantage of the fact that they can heavily invest in industry and then simply sell the bulk of their produce to other EU countries who have no choice but to buy from other EU countries.

If the EU was to disband, Germany's economy would be the most affected.

>>Strong currency
are you retarded?

no, seriously?
