We must therefore look for *reasons* why Germany is top-dog, and Greece is a basket-case.

If you are happy to do the same thing for 40 years there is unlikely to be much development (of GDPPP) and, unless your 40 years is 40 years of innovation, the world does not move for you or for your country.

Aspiration is everything, supplemented by the facilitation of personal advancement rewarding aspiratory achievement.

This is a synergistic model, it is not an 'ant-like' paradigm.

To contribute to and/or lead innovation to be
best in the section,
best in the factory,
best in the competitor group,
best in the country,
best in the competitor group in the trading bloc/world
moves the individual and everything he/she touches to dominate the sector, to define the product-range characteristics, and to take maximum available profits.

A, +A, +A, +A . . . . . (for 40 years) is merely additive;
Germany has succeeded with performance multipliers.
Synergy is everything.
