Made in Germany reveals how German industry challenged Britain’s trade supremacy. This analytical study looks at late nineteenth‑century industrial growth, the rise of German manufacturing, and the shrinking lead once enjoyed by Britain. It surveys key sectors and the forces behind Germany’s expanding export power, offering a clear picture of the modern industrial world.
The book frames its argument with comparisons between Germany and England, and it explores how policy, education, and technical skill shaped production. It also analyzes specific industries—from chemicals to salt and dyes—to show how German firms gained a global edge.
