Different Measures of Productivity
The Germans don't equate paying low wages with productivity or efficiency. Rather than devoting their resources and energy to busting unions and paying rock bottom wages, German businesses actually try to become more productive (more output per unit of labor) and make better products. And they have a social and governmental structure that backs them up. Too bad our business leaders are so short sighted.
