SALON LUITPOLD | Wie viel Zukunft kaufen wir auf Kredit? | Ein Gespräch mit Lars P. Feld & Niklas Potrafke; Moderation Christine Begemann

Lars P. Feld and Niklas Potrafke discuss the background; moderated by Christine Bergmann/BR

With the federal government’s debt drive, Germany is at a turning point in fiscal policy. Never before have such large amounts of debt been incurred in such a short period of time—with consequences for the economy, politics, and society.

At Café Luitpold, Lars P. Feld and Niklas Potrafke discuss the background of this development, the risks of growing public debt—especially for younger generations—and offer a critical assessment of the government’s latest reforms. The debate builds on the book by Lars P. Feld and Wolf H. Reuter, which explains why debt policy is so tempting, what dangers it poses, and how Germany can get back on track fiscally.
