Why the Germans Do it Better.

This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston looks at the phenomena of “quiet quitting” where workers do less while still keeping their jobs. She chats to HR expert Caroline Reidy of the HR Suite. As the EU takes on the challenge of cleaning up the internet to make it safer for us all, Financial Times journalist Javier Ezpinoza takes us through the efforts being made by the big platforms to stave off more EU regulations. And why is Germany the barometer of the European project and are its current woes indicative of what countries are facing all over Europe? Mandy talks to John Kampfner the author of ‘Why the Germans Do it Better; Notes from a Grown-Up Country’
