/218/ Stability Über Alles ft. Wolfgang Streeck (Patreon)

On German's elections – and the costs of stability.

Wolfgang Streeck is back on the podcast to round-up Germany's elections last Sunday (26 September). What's behind the emphasis on continuity and competence? Is Germany stuck in the 2000s?

We also discuss the importation of US-style culture wars into Germany, the country's role in the Eurozone, and strategic relations with France.

Readings:

Will it Be Enough?, Wolfgang Streeck, Sidecar

“Order” Prevails in Berlin, Gregor Baszak, The Bellows

Things Can’t Go on Like This for the German Left, Alexander Brentler, Jacobin
