Imagine a country whose inhabitants
work fewer hours than almost any others, whose workforce is not particularly
productive and whose children spend less time at school than most of its
neighbours.
Hardly a recipe for economic success, you might think.
But the country described above is none other than Germany, Europe's industrial powerhouse and the world's second largest exporter; a country whose economy has single-handedly stopped the eurozone falling back into recession and the only nation rich enough to save the euro.
