The days of the debt brake in its current form are numbered – there are signs of a reform in the next legislative period. But how exactly should the rules be reformed or supplemented? And wouldn’t there be a need for more far-reaching reforms than those recently proposed by the German Council of Economic Experts?

 

We talked about this in our New Economy Short Cut: Debt brake 2.0 – Which kind of reform achieves what? with Achim Truger, member of the German Council of Economic Experts, Peter Bofinger, Professor of Economics at the University of Würzburg, Katja Rietzler, Senior Economist at IMK and Florian Schuster-Johnson, Senior Economist at Dezernat Zukunft on 11 December 2024.

ABOUT NEW PARADIGM

KNOWLEDGE BASE

After decades of overly naive market belief, we urgently need new answers to the great challenges of our time. More so, we need a whole new paradigm to guide us. We collect everything about the people and the community who are dealing with the question of a new paradigm and who analyze the historical and present impact of paradigms and narratives – whether in new contributions, performances, books and events.
