November 6, 2024: A Turning Point for the World
I’ve waited to share a political comment because what’s happening in Germany is almost beyond words for me as a German living abroad. I’m no fan of turning Germany into the U.S., especially when it comes to social issues. But the constant complaining about how terrible @realDonaldTrump, @elonmusk, and the like are gets on my nerves. In Europe, we’re long past the point of dictating to the U.S. or China. We first need to get our own house in order and work our way up before we can hope to sit at the table with the world’s powers as equals again. I’m also frustrated with big German CEOs who complain behind closed doors, but few have the courage to speak out publicly. The fact that things have reached this point is also due to boardrooms lacking enough backbone.
Germany in Crisis
The former industrial powerhouse is in a dismal state regarding infrastructure and competitiveness. The U.S., meanwhile, is set to boost its economy and innovation like never before, deregulating so radically that jaws in Brussels will drop. The U.S. is preparing for an innovation and technology battle with China, with no regard for collateral damage. Under 16 years of Merkel, crucial reforms that could have secured the future of this industrial giant were missed. But instead of taking the necessary steps now, we’re seeing economic policies that belong in children’s books.
The idea of creating a sustainable energy foundation is sound. But cutting off the existing industrial foundation before we can stand on the new one is absurd. All we’ve done is weaken ourselves while making the U.S. and Asia even stronger. Wishful thinking and reality are worlds apart here. This government is the most expensive Germany has ever had and a trailblazer of its own deindustrialization. We’re resting on the prosperity of the past and forgetting that we’re no longer global leaders. Our “Kodak/Nokia moment”—the decline of a former market leader—has begun. We lack the willingness to face reality. This attitude resembles impoverished nobility clinging to a lost reality.
What We Can Learn from the U.S.
The most agile player wins—in evolution, business, and politics. This shift is an opportunity for us to catch up on our homework in Europe. Germany and the EU need courage: no small reforms, but radical restructuring and innovation. Enough with the fear of data and modern nuclear power! We need an Agenda 2030 that’s bipartisan.
The world is changing—we decide whether it changes with us or without us.
