This interactive seminar reveals how a distinctive national culture, history and stabilizing institutions deeply imprinted German capitalism. Co-determination in labor relations, dual apprenticeship vocational training, public banking, a social welfare safety net and German “Mittelstand;”altogether make Germany a world leader in exports, second only to China. Join us to discuss the secrets behind the “German model” and draw some important lessons that others could learn from.
