In a Nutshell - The German Social System: A Short Introduction

Here is the nutshell version to give you a basic understanding of it without you having to study it for years. It is written in plain English, and thus not a scientific publication.

It is not the goal of this book to argue about details or educate you about delicate manipulations of a complex system. It is simply to give you a general idea about what the German Social System is about, where it came from, and how it works.
