Annalena Baerbock and the economy: what are the Greens up to?

2021-04-23T11:00:02.820Z


In their election manifesto, the Greens describe in detail how they want to rebuild the economy. They have the staff to do this, and so has the network: Nevertheless, their radical plan has a few dangerous imbalances.


Annalena Baerbock's

claim

is extensive: "I am convinced that we need a fresh start and have to dare to try something new," said the 40-year-old after she had been chosen as candidate for Chancellor of the Greens.

The likelihood that the Greens will be able to implement a lot of new things is great.

You can already see individual surveys before the CDU / CSU and its candidate for Chancellor

Armin Laschet

(60).

That can all change.

But it seems certain: the Greens and Annalena Baerbock have the best chance of significantly shaping the next federal government.

So it is high time to ask the question: What are the Greens planning to do with the economy?

The mm editors Christian Schütte, Sven Clausen and Martin Noé have spoken to many top people in business and among the Greens in order to answer precisely this question. And they took a close look at the 137 strong draft program of the Greens for the federal election entitled "Germany. Everything is in". It is clear to them afterwards: the Greens want to use their power to give society radically different priorities. "There is a very great willingness to intervene of all kinds" in order to enforce their idea of ​​quality of life, says Schütte. As a result, the economy will also have to adjust to other times.

In this podcast, the three mm editors discuss how smart that can be for Germany, how the Greens want to secure the approval of various social groups on a permanent basis and how they oscillate between ideology and pragmatism.
