Die Koalition will einen Rentenfonds nach 🇸🇪 Vorbild, in den 2% des Lohns fließen. Wie schon bei Lindners Aktienrente (remember him?) greift die progressive Kritik an diesem Element der #rentenreform viel zu kurz. Internationale Evidenz zeigt: Kapitaldeckung = Finanzialisierungsmaschine. 🧵

Mit Merz gibt's einen Rückschritt in die Wirtschaftspolitik der 2000er. Meine Einordnung der Agenda 2030 @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social:

Die Agenda 2030 ist ein Abstiegsprogramm

Friedrich Merz will »neuen Wohlstand für Deutschland« schaffen. Doch seine Agenda 2030 ist vor allem ein Geschenk an den deutschen Exportsektor – und macht die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung ärmer.
