'Wolfgang Munchau is one of the sharpest minds in British and European journalism. In Kaput he tells the compellingstory of Germany's economic wonder gone wrong - for now at least. For those of us who never under-estimate German ingenuity and competitiveness this is an eye-opener, an accessible account of the troubles and also the potential in Europe's greatest economy' - Gavin Esler
