One thing i would like to add is Germany's almost fanatical investments in alternative energy and resources. Since the late 1980's Germany has been taking the most efforts in getting its economy away from Oil and co. Given the Oil spike we experienced in 2008 i think any economy that does the most on reducing oil Dependency will come out as a winner on the long run.

Last info available reads 180% of GDP for German external debt, vs 90% for US How can be considered healthy an economy that owes the world twice its yearly gross? Another fact is that huge German banks are far more leveraged than US competitors. Their exposure to Spain, and UK is like an iceberg straight ahead a short-of-fuel boat A good analysis, that understates German external debt though.

Germany forces competition by allowing medical supply to exceed demand. For example, they have 3.5 doctors per 1000 people compared to only 2.3 in the US.
