Germany's path to deindustrialization reveals a complex interplay between policy choices and capital dynamics. The steady outflow of investment capital coincides with increasingly stringent green policy frameworks, creating a challenging environment for traditional industrial sectors. This convergence of factors has pushed Germany toward what some economists describe as a critical juncture—where policy rigidity and capital reallocation reach a tipping point. The question becomes whether these structural shifts represent temporary market corrections or a more fundamental realignment of Europe's industrial landscape. Manufacturing competitiveness erodes when regulatory costs escalate faster than productivity gains, especially when neighboring regions offer more flexible regulatory environments. Capital seeks returns, and when domestic conditions become unfavorable, it flows elsewhere. Germany's case demonstrates how policy-driven transformation, when misaligned with market realities, can accelerate rather than decelerate economic restructuring. The scale and speed of this shift suggest we may be approaching an irreversible phase in Germany's economic model.

Germany has really killed its industry with this wave. The green policies are rigid. Just now, I saw other European countries copying the approach, but now they are adapting flexibly, while Germany stubbornly holds on... This is why capital has all fled.

Green policies are forcing manufacturing out of Germany, this is a vivid example.

Alright, Germany's recent moves are indeed a bit hardcore... The green policies are implemented one after another, and as a result, capital has been completely withdrawn. Isn't this just the consequence of policy-making on a whim?

Typical overregulation kills the industry. Germany's green energy policies have turned into a joke. Capital has no feelings; moving abroad is inevitable.

ngl Germany's recent move has been a bit of a mess, with rigid green policies, capital fleeing, and the industrial competitiveness plummeting... Isn't this the consequence of policies being out of touch with reality?
