Report of March 25, 2020
Since the 1980s, especially in the new millenium, the issue of debt is increasingly the focus of political debates, as an analysis of parliamentary speeches since 1949 shows. More than ten years after the outbreak of the great financial crisis and almost ten years since the beginning of the European sovereignty debt crisis, there are not just questions about the opportunities and risks of debt but also ongoing debates about debt brakes. That's why the topic of the Vierteljahrsheft 2020, 1 is: Debt – Blessing or Curse?
Editors: Peter Hennecke, Doris Neuberger und Dorothea Schäfer.
