'A splendid book by authors who long ago detected Germany’s fragility – and aimed at readers who take no pleasure in the sight of its precipitous decline' YANIS VAROUFAKIS
The compelling story of Germany’s decline – where it all went wrong and how it could bounce back.
For many years, the post-war recovery of Germany was an inspirational story. All of Europe looked on with admiration and envy as the nation rebuilt and set standards for the rest to follow. Companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Siemens and Bayer rose to become global titans, while the country's political leaders earned respect around the world – even their football teams were the best. Such was its success that when the Berlin Wall fell, it appeared to reunify almost seamlessly. Where Germany led, the rest followed.
But, even at its zenith, there were signs of trouble, with a worrying lack of national identity at its heart. So, when events started to turn against Germany, the whole edifice began to crumble. As political and business leaders benefited from the status quo, they couldn’t see the problems heading their way. Volkswagen’s emissions fraud tainted its industrial reputation; abandoning nuclear power left the country at the mercy of Russia for its energy needs; and a growing divide between rich and poor stoked international tensions that opened the door to the rise of the far-right AfD party.
Journalists Chris Reiter and Will Wilkes have been reporting for years on the problems the country faces. Germany is not alone in this, but it is singularly ill-equipped to deal with them. Broken Republik is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand Germany's slide towards the brink.©2025 Chris Reiter (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Opinie krytyków
Although a new government has been installed since this book was released, the authors nonetheless provides a deeply insightful and fresh view of the challenges Chancellor Friedrich Merz will need to overcome if he is to correct Germany’s trajectory
A splendid book by authors who long ago detected Germany’s fragility – and aimed at readers who take no pleasure in the sight of its precipitous decline (Yanis Varoufakis)
The best polemic yet … The book’s charge sheet is long and unforgiving [and they] prosecute their case with vigour and a terrific eye for detail. The book is especially good on the country’s near-belle epoque levels of wealth inequality and social immobility (Oliver Moody)
Reiter and Wilkes debunk several long-standing myths about Germany…the authors’ in-depth analysis digs deep into the crisis without being defamatory. The analysis of the German mentality is sure to provoke some readers. But that’s precisely where its strength lies: the authors avoid being easily categorised, which is often what stifles open-ended debates
Hugely compelling book on Germany
