Germany's economy is in dire straits, with recession persisting despite heavy state intervention and artificial demand programs. Productivity has stagnated, unemployment is rising, large companies are closing, and insolvency rates have hit record highs. Mobile capital is fleeing the country, yet policymakers remain inert, relying on increasing intervention and control.

In Q2 2024, Germany's GDP contracted by 0.10% compared to the same period last year. Historically, GDP growth averaged 1.83% from 1971 to 2024.
