Kommentar Contra: Euro-Bonds zerstören den Euro
Der Ökonom Hüther spricht von klar umgrenzten Projekten, die sich für gemeinsame Schulden anböten. Das sollte uns mit einem Blick auf das deutsche Sondervermögen beunruhigen.
Michael Hüther maintains a consistent worldview in his commentary. As an employer-friendly economist, he was among the pioneers of the debt state approach when Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil could access half a trillion Euros in debt under the catchphrase "special fund". However, for Hüther, this was merely the beginning of a wondrous process of money multiplication.
Currently, he advocates for the communalization of European debts in an era where Germany is fighting to maintain its top-ranking and creditworthiness. The economist positions his push ahead of a meeting between Chancellor and several heads of Net contributor states who are wary of letting the budget of the navel-gazing EU Commission spiral out of control in the coming years.
Hüther particularly highlights the importance of clearly defined projects that offer themselves to shared debts. A glance at the German special fund reveals that this is one of the major weak points of the proposal.
