Hmmm, a state run industry in communist east Berlin that failed in 1990. It’s almost as if their business hit a wall when they couldn’t expand their market through exports. Surely there couldn’t have been any world changing events happening in that town in the latter days of 1989 that might have played a larger role in the demise of a state run business.
If the article in the Wiki is true, their problems with expansion were because no one wanted to resell their product. It’s not even a problem with actual customers, and there probably was enough people who would buy to make growth viable for much longer
Or you could drop your red-scared shades and read the article again: those glasses were made to last, hence were of no interest for those who expected them to break easily in order to sell more.
