Germany's economy is struggling because three assumptions behind its export-led model broke down at the same time. Cheap Russian natural gas, which powered German industry for decades, was cut off after 2022, causing energy prices to spike. China, once Germany's biggest customer for cars and machinery, built its own electric vehicle industry and became a direct competitor. At the same time, global demand shifted toward software and batteries, areas where Germany's traditional strength in precision engineering matters less than it once did.

This video breaks down exactly how Germany's export-led miracle worked, and why the same three pillars that built it are now the reason German industry from steel mills to the car industry is struggling. We trace the 2022 cutoff of Russian natural gas that sent German industrial energy prices to some of the highest in the developed world.

We follow China's transformation from Germany's biggest customer into its most dangerous competitor in electric vehicles. And we dig into why Germany's Mittelstand, the small family-owned manufacturers that are the backbone of German industry, is brilliant at refining old technology and slow to leap toward new technology.
