Germany bounces back

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Why is Germany's economy doing better than that of its rivals? Steve Evans takes the pulse of the economy that's bouncing back. He talks to the top man at Porsche on cars for $300,000 that the Chinese can't buy fast enough and finds out about the automatic machine that sells gold. And he talks to the mayor who says the economy may be showing better growth figures than its neighbours', but things will have to look even better before the Germans feel comfortable.
