8.3 Germany
Germany’s "Mittelstand" – the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that form the backbone of its economy – can be seen as an example of distributist principles in action. These family-owned businesses prioritize long-term stability over short-term profits, often focusing on specialized niche markets and investing in their local communities. The success of the Mittelstand has contributed to Germany’s economic strength, low unemployment rates, and social cohesion.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
