Unfortunately your comment still doesn't address my concerns on how this model is supposed to be sustainable to work in the future given the new economic realities of Germany's faltering industry, and especially the existing intra-EU disparity between german labor and eastern European labor, let alone international labor. You're reiterating the pros of why it's been good SO FAR, but you don't drive on the road by looking in the rearview mirror, if you get what I mean. My take is that the german government will have to do another "agenda 2010" row of cuts to union and labor rights, if it wishes to keep jobs in the country and remain a competitive export economy, hell, even Switzerland has significantly less labor rights than Germany. Not saying that's a good thing, but it seems like that's one of the necessary evils if you want to have a growing economy, and not turn into Italy or France. |
