The German economy has developed as strongly in recent years as rarely before. Wages have risen, and the long-term upswing has created more new jobs than ever before. But something is not right. Germans are not happy. Many feel left behind, are dissatisfied, and disappointed. Social cohesion is dwindling. How can this be? Michael Böhmer knows: The old approaches to growth and distribution no longer work. Here growth policy, there redistribution and social tinkering, that cannot be the right way. A change in thinking is needed: Social cohesion must be considered a fundamental part of economic policy from the outset if we want to live in prosperity and happiness as a society. Dr. Michael Böhmer puts Germany on the couch and shows the way for a new social and economically successful coexistence. He provides numerous concrete proposals for practice, whether it be for pension policy, inheritance tax, or infrastructure. So that we can all live well and happily in this country in the future.
