I see a lot of "government shouldn't interfere with the free market", but this is par for the course for Germany. After the world wars, they were in a do-or-die economic situation. The government started to heavily regulate and direct the industry that made Germany the power-house it is today. It's not perfect, but it has been working well for them so far. Enough to make them world recognized in many areas.
