Why is Germany so RICH (and Powerful)? 

I always found it weird that Germany is the 4th richest country considering it never really had a full on empire, had to pay lots reparations after both world wars and its economy being split for most of recent history until the 90’s it’s just crazy how this country somehow became richer than the whole continent of Africa.

Two things cone to mind every time I hear Germany and Japan: Disciplined and organized

production is what makes a country rich and powerful

Many germans dont know how great germany actually is.

This is a great channel! I only caught sight of you folks in recent times, but it’s now among my favourite channels.

Much love to all Germans from your tiny brother Liechtenstein! 🇱🇮😊❤🇩🇪

Germany is my ideal country. Strong work culture yet many worker rights, vacation / holidays, and don’t work excessively like US. Great immigration policies. Great economy. Great human rights. What’s not to love about German other than their idea of humor?

“Germany is so rich and powerful..” Your typical German person: doesn’t feel like it ..

Amazing video thank you for the great content you put out for us !

When you look at the quality of companies in retail, automotive, and engineering it's easy why they are so to productive. Companies like Aldi, Adidas, BMW, Audi and Lufthansa.

Great video, very informative and concise. Love the editing!

Woahh this was really well made 🔥

Thank you so much for informative video.

Because Germany is able to export its products cheaply to advanced economies in Europe via roads cheaply instead of air. And its engineering ability is good for innovation. Also Big Chungus is the main reason too.

Awesome video

This video is too short! I wish it was longer. It's soo informative

I love Germany ❤️

Very Good Video

Hi Uptin, this video was very nicely created and edited. I liked it very much. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏

I’m in Munich visiting right now!!

Very useful information thank you from vietnam 😍👍😍

this guy breaking RU-vid algo

Yes, we always find a way

I love your videos,🥰🥰🥰

Love the fact that you blurred the name of Germany initially (mocking their privacy laws perhaps)

Hi From California America 🇺🇸

After watching this video I have just found out that T mobile was german

I have to say this. I've been keeping it inside for a long time. Uptin, I am unsatisfied with the length of your vlog. I don't want it to be 3-5 minutes long. I need your video to be 15 minutes minimum. More than that is better It bothers me like to no end having such a great youtuber as you but has such a short length of videos. Please Uptin, I need you to make your videos longer. It's not a WANT. It's a NEED. Thank you. Kind Regards, Bee

I'm an immigrant myself but this never works out well for the average person, only businesses and the rich. Also, if governments aren't trying to build housing to accommodate these immigrants and creating jobs too support them, it will become a disaster like it has in Canada. The biggest problem is that while immigrants are needed to settle more remote parts, what actually happens is that they end up all in the same few cities. That's a problem. See Toronto.

While immigration is a net positive, it does have to be diverse and well-managed to reach it's full potential. Canada and the US tend to have mostly positive immigration stories as their immigration process is very selective. But it can also go poorly if it isn't well-managed, as seen in Sweden. Still, if economies want to continue growing they need to embrace immigration and turn it into an asset. As for the economy, thankfully Germany has good positions in very niche machinery products that have constant demand and not much competition. But due to it's conservative attitudes and slow embrace of digital solutions it has fallen behind more competitive economies such as the Dutch.

As someone who born and raise in Germany I admit that discipline and good organization was something that was true for the Germany many years ago. Germany is really declining and you can watch how this in lightspeed is happening right now. Public transportation isnt working, cellular network is really bad and has a state like a really poor country, digitalization is also a pure mess. The organization of the state like government offices and institutions does not work efficient and expedient. Many people I know who work for the government are saying the same to that. And now because of the bad politics of the last 20 years we are facing a energy crisis which can be really dramatic in winter when things go bad. Of course Germany is a country I love and it is still a nice country but it is not the country anymore that people are thinking outside of Germany.

What’s up Broski 🦋,

it has a magic money printer.

hello dear bro Germany is one of my favorite countries it is one the best in the world with good food, architecture and cars all the world knows how famous it is ,its castles, ocean views, saunas . it is good to to visit for vacations. like and greetings from shery i am a traveler n explorer from Pakistan

Uptin talked about BMW, Marc, Seimens and even Hugo Boss but not Volkswagen?

i dont understand why you dont have 30 million suscribes, You are in my top 1 on RU-vid, I love your videos and content, Hope you get really far soon

They make great cars and have great products.

Amazing content. Can You make a Video about why Canada is rich? Hehe 😁

So glad he missed Volkswagen

i think you missed some important points , but despite this i like your video. thanks

Germany was already this rich and this powerful before accepting immigrants.

Hi from Switzerland 🇨🇭 😉

2:37 "I see Korean" what where??

It's just sad that many germans don't realize how fucking lucky they are to live in such a rich country. People are crying about 8% Inflation currently, as it would be the biggest economic crisis on earth, while other countries are happy with Inflation under 20%. First world problems I guess.

3:10 How does union culture keep wages low? should it not be the opposite?

Hey uptin can u go to Kuwait it’s my hometown it’s pretty cool and cheap

Most of men who like cars would like Germany.

U didn't mention adidas and puma.

Why is salary so low there still?

*Lol. When you open your phone, how many German apps do you see? How many German apps do you use on a regular basis?*

as a german this is really not well researched and unfortunately paints a very simplistic and, frankly, wrong picture.

0:15 In which year was this video made? Really outdated numbers

bro you forgot BOSCH

It’s not T mobile it’s Telekom

Germany about to lose its auto industry in the next decade

UK is currently above India and standing on around 3.1T. but I can see it going down now in recession and brexit bullshit

👍

Germany is indeed rich but I would not call it powerful.

MOST OF US ARE A PAYCHECK AWAY FROM BEING HOMELESS, LEARN TO INVEST AND KEEP INVESTING UNTIL IT BECOMES A HABIT.

Update Japan 5.1T, Germany 4.3T, India 3.6T

As a forty-year-old German, I don't even know where to start. The German state is indebted to the point of no more. But we are creditworthy, so we keep taking on more. The capital Berlin alone would not be able to keep its head above water without federal funds, a bottomless pit. Nothing has been invested in infrastructure for ages, such as roads, bridges, fiber optic internet, etc. We're drowning in bureaucracy. The opportunity for advancement for the poor in education is nil. We are an extremely jealous society that is jealous of the unemployed and refugees because they are said to get more money for doing nothing, which of course is not true. The government has repeatedly missed the expansion of renewable energies. You hardly get a kindergarten place here. The health system here is a disaster. Hospitals are closing in droves because they are required by law to make a profit. My city's hospital hasn't had a maternity ward for years because it doesn't bring in anything. Some old police stations are contaminated with asbestos, known for years, nothing happens. The government lacks real vision for the future. The powerful business lobbies influence politics so that hardly anything is done for the common man. The Bundeswehr has been saved to death since the 2000s, which is particularly affecting us in the Ukraine crisis. Even before the arrival of the Syrian wave of refugees and then the Afghan and Ukrainian ones, more than a million apartments were missing here because the government has hardly built any social housing and is still not able to do it. Small houses in cities like Hanover near the center now cost one to two million euros. Even most Germans say we are such a rich country, the truth is that the number of millionaires is only increasing, which falsifies the income statistics. The middle class has been disappearing since the 2000s and poverty is increasing. The Germans have had fears of decline and existential fears for 20 years. Retirees cannot live off their pension. The pension system from the days of the German Empire will soon no longer be viable because fewer young people are paying in for the aging society. The government doesn't do anything, just says work until you're 70. The queues in the soup kitchens are getting longer and longer. The reunification costs a lot because the ex-GDR was on the ground. Also, under Chancellor Schröder, Germany became a low-wage sector, so that ordinary workers can no longer make a living from it, until today. Statistics only look good to economists on paper. Germany was at its peak in the 1980s and 1990s, but then the decline began. Corona, inflation and the Ukraine crisis are hitting us hard. The only consolation here is that things are much worse elsewhere.

They are better in immigration integration then the neighbors

I'm pretty sure germany gonna overtake japan

Germany is number one choice for Indians for immigration

German is a rich country but the people arent rich because we have alot of taxes and insurance costs.

Bro please subtitle Indonesia 👀

Now Germany showing its Thicc-ness😂

Stop putting misleading info and figures. India is 3.5 trillion USD economy in 2021.

you forgot the very long stability of the Deutsche Mark which made investors prefer germany. when the euro was adopted, the devaluation of german money made it the leading market by becoming exporting world champion. Plus the german mindset of 'don't spend over your limit'. in german debt is the same word for guilt. germans HATE depts! we prefer debit card over credit card & we prefer CASH over all else! There's more but i've got no more time now. :)

Germany is one of the craziest economies ever

You R italian isnt it ?

Germany is in a change. The costs of living are getting higher and higher but we don´t get more money. Many people working their asses off but still can´t afford living. Others have to work more than 1 or 2 jobs. The middle class is basically getting wiped out at the moment. Real Estate prices are getting out of hand in many many major cities. You now basically have to spend more than 50% of your income on housing alone. After that you still need to pay your normal bills and food etc. Electricity and gas prices will drive many people into deep depts the next months.

GDP =/= wealth of the people. Large domestic markets usually have a high GDP, unless they live in dark ages. Germany is not rich. The state destroys most of the wealth in this country.

Because they are very thrifty, saves a lot and the is not a credit culture they do credit having a house but mostly half of it is already paid due to early life savings for a future house called Bausparen.

Are you Persian ? Because Uptin is Persian name

Sie-whats?

Germany rocks it! The world benefits from their work ethic and highly intelligent peoples. This video measures the output of this by measurable metrics, but the underlying answer is discipline. There is no transgender, race, police, queer, conflicts in politics. Kids don't listen to gangster rap, celebrate mental illness diversity, and there are real consequences committing crime. This is the real answer to the videos question.

germany is so raggedy

They are rich but not powerful, Germany rulling class is controlled by us

Haha only rich country but many poor people who are poor and in their retirement age, they have to collect bottles to survive

Us is higher by gdp per capita and gdp

I like germany the technology n people like kepler roentgen libniez kant many scholar from german blood mercedez audi bmw volkswagen n burkenstuck sandal love german people

I bet at least 50% of the viewers are germans checking if everything is correct😂😂

Germany is not going to be number 4 for long. It may still be in the top 10, but it is not going to do well over the next few years.

i love germany because of the mmetal festivals such as wacken

Their strong economy was because of the Auto industry, this is changing now with the EV revolution, the leaders so far is USA and China in the EV, this will mean trouble fOR the Geramny economy in the future, as the old Auto brands struggle to make the change from ICE to EV.

Germany profited from very cheap Russian gas for several decades! Industry profited from this enourmsly. Thanks to UK and USA these times are gone. See northstream 1 and 2!

Siements

Cheap labor. They import workers from Balkan (I am from there so I know it first hand how many people are leaving) and from other parts of the world too. Germans won't work dirty jobs so yea. Also I think country for that reason is not even safe anymore. And I am not talking about terrorist just regular crime and safety issue.

Aaah I thought we beat Germany 🇩🇪 … maybe next year

Please do a video on Poland 🇵🇱

They adopted Sanskrit Language

World war really helped Germany to get a head start

Cause have you seen Germans? Why would anyone be surprised

Money is an issue that everyone has fora better and luxurious life, life was hard for me until I started trading crypto and am now earning $20,000 per week.

Contrary to what is reporeted in the mainsstream media, immigration has not contributed to the qualified workforce in Germany - on the contrary. The majority of legal or illegal immigrants live off welfare, with hardly a chance of ever getting a job, due to lack of knowledge and skills.

India is next superpower . Biggest youngest market of world

i love germany

Germany has a good PR team, it's not a innovative powerhouse as it's PR team want you tu believe
