{"product_id":"9781786499783","title":"Why the Germans Do it Better","description":"\u003cp\u003eEmerging from a collection of city states 150 years ago, no other country has had as turbulent a history as Germany or enjoyed so much prosperity in such a short time frame. Today, as much of the world succumbs to authoritarianism and democracy is undermined from its heart, Germany stands as a bulwark for decency and stability. Mixing personal journey and anecdote with compelling empirical evidence, this is a critical and entertaining exploration of the country many in the West still love to hate. Raising important questions for our post-Brexit landscape, Kampfner asks why, despite its faults, Germany has become a model for others to emulate, while Britain fails to tackle contemporary challenges. Part memoir, part history, part travelogue, Why the Germans Do It Better is a rich and witty portrait of an eternally fascinating country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+John+Kampfner\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJohn Kampfner\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Kampfner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377455022243,"sku":"9781786499783","price":315.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781786499783_34e488be-3008-47fd-96f4-31efd1b95095.jpg?v=1776591771","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781786499783","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
