@pettter I have the long standing suspicion that this is why the German economy has a reputation of stability.
I feel that here, people take much more pride in providing a popular product or service and being reliable than a quick and easy path to adding more zeros to a bank account.
I feel, and that might be entirely subjective, that German entrepreneurs are more interested in building a legacy than cashing out.
@Yora I think you underestimate people from other countries, and the massive help the German economy has had from being in the EU and eurozone.
