An opinion again from your West German buddies only. From an Israeli Ph.D who has been active in forming new businesses and acts as a consultant: "Yet, by 1998, one of every four working adults was unemployed. Another 100,000 participated in make-believe and stopgap retraining schemes and public works. A decisive majority of Saxony-Anhalt's young never experienced a day's work. Its bloated, inefficient, and technologically retarded industries crumbled as they faced the powerhouses of West Germany." As an aside, my friends, an architect and an engineer, were shocked at how backward were their colleagues from the former GDR......not just in their education but in their living habits. samvak.tripod.com
