A new capitalism - but what kind?
MOREDo we need to save capitalism from itself? An attempt at a diagnosis. Economic liberalism is subject to a crossfire of criticism. If not economic freedom and the market, then what? Growth, yes, but not at all costs – in search of balance. Sustainable development in a new context. The economy’s social responsibility: environment, healthcare, ethics. Migration, crises and the European job market. New answers to the old question: how much state intervention in the economy? The state as a regulator and creator of economic policy, company owner and investor – what does the free market say?
