Grüne Wirtschaftspolitik ohne Reformprojekt

Abstract

In public opinion the Green Party seems to be left from Social Democrats. But meanwhile the Greens represent in the field of economic policy a variant of neoliberalism, a kind of „green austerity“. Budget consolidation and flexible labour markets are the main aims of economic policy. From an eco-tax the Greens expect ecological improvements and more employment but none of these effects seems to plausible.
