This insightful book presents innovative economic policy proposals for Germany and Europe, advocating for expansionary measures to combat stagnation and promote growth.
In Economic Policy Proposals for Germany and Europe, the authors present a compelling examination of contemporary German economic policy through the lens of internationally distinguished economists. This collection of essays provides a fresh perspective on the challenges facing Germany's economy, particularly in light of its slow growth during the 1990s and early 2000s. Despite being the world's leading exporter, Germany has struggled with low wage growth, rising unemployment, and increasing public deficits. Traditionally, the focus has been on structural issues, often overlooking the macroeconomic factors contributing to this stagnation.
The contributors to this volume argue for a shift in the economic policy debate, advocating for more expansionary macroeconomic policies. They delve into various aspects of the German and European markets, offering critiques of the narrow scope of existing discussions. The essays explore the real effects of monetary policies, fiscal policy contributions, wage policies, and family policies, all aimed at countering economic stagnation and fostering greater prosperity.
By bringing together insights from eight distinguished economists, Economic Policy Proposals for Germany and Europe not only highlights the complexities of the current economic landscape but also proposes actionable solutions to enhance economic performance. This book serves as a vital resource for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding and improving economic conditions in Germany and beyond.
