Until recently, Germany appeared to be a paragon of economic and political success. Angela Merkel was widely seen as the true 'leader of the free world', and Germany's export-driven economic model seemed to deliver prosperity. Recent events have called this view into question, as Germany's dependence on Russian gas has become a major liability. Wolfgang Munchau argues that the weaknesses of Germany's economy have, in fact, been brewing for decades. The neo-mercantilist policies of the German state, driven by close connections between the country's industrial and political elite, have enriched a small group of companies and shareholders but done little for the majority: the result has been spiralling income inequality. The dominance of industrial interests has left Germany technologically behind and thus slow to adapt to the digital realities of the 21st century. It has also caused an over-reliance on authoritarian countries such as Russia, leaving Germany isolated and vulnerable. This incisive analysis of the failures of Germany's business and political elites from one of Europe's leading commentators will be a must-read for anyone interested in contemporary geopolitics.

The Iron Lady reconsidered on the 100th anniversary of her birth

Former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt's Can We Be Great Again? is a thought-provoking book about our place in the world in the century ahead. Looking back at his time as this country's global ambassador, Jeremy Hunt asks: is Britain a minor player, marginalized by our departure from the EU and dwarfed by the rise of new economies? Or is there a major role for us to play in a rapidly changing international order?With the election of President Trump, the answer to that question matters. A world that was already becoming more dangerous has also become more unpredictable. As competition increases between economic and military superpowers, others must make choices. If the UK really is a busted flush, it would be reasonable to stand back, go with the flow and focus on defending our more narrow interests. But if we aren't, now more than ever is a moment to try and defend the huge progress in freedom and democracy we have seen over the last century.
