Meckel & Matthes: Warum Deutschland Visionen statt nur Reformen braucht, Sebastians Buch „Inside 2029“

Kanzler Friedrich Merz kämpft um seinen Reformkurs. Was dabei fehlt, ist eine neue Erzählung von Morgen. Matthes hat eine Idee, wo Vorbilder zu finden sind.

Meckel & Matthes: Warum Deutschland Visionen statt nur Reformen braucht, Sebastians Buch „Inside 2029“

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently declared that "our country must be made fit for the future" following the Union's exit from the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Landtag. Publicist Miriam Meckel criticized this statement, calling it "communication without substance," and Handelsblatt Chief Editor Sebastian Matthes agreed, stating that the reforms are becoming "just a cipher."

Neither can envision precisely what the Chancellor means when he urges a reform course, according to Matthes. The missing element, Matthes claims, is a vision of how Germany's future society should look. In his upcoming book "Inside 2029," Matthes embarked on a journey to uncover this vision, visiting China and India and speaking with knowledgeable individuals to determine how Germany can regain its status as a global leader.

In a recent podcast episode, Matthes shared his insights on these findings. Listeners can subscribe to the exclusive Handelsblatt Meckel & Matthes podcast at https://www.handelsblatt.com/podcast40.
