...socialist principles and the free market will be controlled by the state," says Brach, who has fought against a German law that requires him to set up a factory council that includes workers' representatives.

Another man is on hand to make sure you don't miss the turn that leads to the garage. Five meters down the path, an attendant removes the ticket that the machine just generated and hands it to you. Head up the slope to the first floor and a woman will wave you on, just in case you missed the brightly lit No Vacancy sign over her head. (Every floor, whether full...
