June 21, 2024: "Growth, Prosperity, Democracy" - FES-IAW Workshop at the Head Office of the Deutsche Bundesbank in Baden-Württemberg
Economic growth rates in Germany, as in most other western industrialized nations, have declined significantly in recent decades. This will not change significantly in the medium term, as calculations of so-called potential growth by the German Council of Economic Experts and others show.
This forms the background for a workshop held by the IAW and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation on June 21, 2024 at the headquarters of the Deutsche Bundesbank in Baden-Württemberg in Stuttgart. Around 20 participants from various scientific disciplines, administration, trade unions and associations discussed, among other things, how the consequences of climate change and the armed conflict continue to hamper growth and exacerbate distribution issues. Other contributions dealt with the relevance of alternative measures of prosperity and the effects on cities and regions.
