Berlin is Germany’s capital, but not its economic powerhouse. Unlike most capital cities that drive national growth, Berlin barely moves the needle. In fact, if you removed Berlin from Germany, the country’s GDP per capita would stay the same. In this episode of Business Beyond, we explore the surprising economics of Berlin—and how its unique history with capitalism helps explain why it bucks the trend.
