„Wir haben manche Entwicklung verschlafen“ (in German language)

#ZEWPodcast „Wir haben manche Entwicklung verschlafen“ (in German language)

The German economy has not grown since the coronavirus pandemic began. In their latest annual report, the German Council of Economic Experts therefore calls for prospects to be created for tomorrow, while at the same time warning against squandering opportunities. In two episodes of the ZEW podcast Economics Actually (Wirklich Wirtschaft), the chair of the German Council of Economic Experts, Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. Monika Schnitzer, discusses the key findings of the report.

In the first episode, she explains in an interview with ZEW President Professor Achim Wambach why the government's debt package will only lead to minimal economic growth and why she believes phasing out combustion engines is not the right approach. Schnitzer also discusses the developments that Germany has missed out on.
