On German's elections – and the costs of stability.

Wolfgang Streeck is back on the podcast to round-up Germany's elections last Sunday (26 September). What's behind the emphasis on continuity and competence? Is Germany stuck in the 2000s?

We also discuss the importation of US-style culture wars into Germany, the country's role in the Eurozone, and strategic relations with France.

The second part of the conversation – where we debate the end of neoliberalism and capitalist crisis – is over at patreon.com/bungacast.

Readings:

Will it Be Enough?, Wolfgang Streeck, Sidecar
“Order” Prevails in Berlin, Gregor Baszak, The Bellows
Things Can’t Go on Like This for the German Left, Alexander Brentler, Jacobin
