Germany is the other extreme though. Not sure if that is healthier.

The German model definitely has lower risks. If something goes wrong, there will still be something left with which you can rebuild.

The American high-risk model on the other hand is definitely one that isn't long-term sustainable, but it wins out in short term, until another crash happens.

I think especially in the last 30 years the risk has been shifted to lower incomes. To me that's the real evil.
