Baustellen der Nation by Philip Banse & Ulf Buermeyer
/library/baustellen-der-nationI read Baustellen der Nation by Philip Banse & Ulf Buermeyer · Frankfurt, Germany · 4/5
Philip Banse and Ulf Buermeyer take on 8 structural problems of Germany in these areas:
- Infrastructure
- Digitalization
- Public transportation (esp. Deutsche Bahn)
- Clean energy
- Social inequality
- Edcuation
- Pensions
- Federalism
They dive deep into each topic, adding references and suggesting solutions. This gives insight into the background of these problems, which people experience everyday. Sometimes it’s the work of a political party, sometimes it’s misunderstandings, more often than not it’s just negligence.
In the epiloge, they adress their priviledged perspective and everyday racism in Germany. I love their weekly politics podcast Die Lage der Nation, and this book adheres to the same high quality bar. Great read!
