Germany didn't start from zero. Many large companies operating in there have roots precisely in the nazi era. Combine this with the Marshall plan and the insane amount of money pumped by capitalists into destroying East Germany and later on integrating East Germany and you'll see the reasons why Germany benefited from world growth more than other European countries.
- gandhium 8y ago> insane amount of money pumped by capitalists into destroying East Germany Can you please elaborate a little? I'm wondering about 'destroying' part.
