Weekend episode: Stagnating Germany – can Europe’s biggest economy snap out of it?

It’s Europe’s biggest economy – so how worried should people be about Germany’s stagnation? We look at what’s pummelling the country’s economy – and how a Nazi-era bunker-turned-penthouse has become emblematic of its property market woes. Plus, government plans to legalize cannabis have weed smokers on a high. *This podcast was corrected. An earlier version said the amount of time it takes to open a business in Germany is double the EU average. The correct statistic is that the time it takes to obtain a license to open a business in Germany is double the OECD average. The incorrect line was removed.
