Wieso Friedrich Merz brandgefährlich ist - WOHLSTAND FÜR ALLE Ep. 53

The SPD has already chosen Olaf Scholz as its candidate for chancellor, while the CDU/CSU is divided over who should succeed Angela Merkel. In the race alongside Markus Söder, Armin Laschet, and Jens Spahn, there is also an old rival of Merkel's: Friedrich Merz, who is popular in both East and West Germany – even among those voters who would definitely not benefit from his chancellorship. According to the former Blackrock employee's logic, those who earn little, become unemployed, or become ill are primarily responsible for their own actions. Friedrich Merz still suffers today from the fact that his party did not vigorously pursue the social devastation that began with the red-green coalition and Agenda 2010. But what does Friedrich Merz think about the German economy, the welfare state, and its citizens? He has documented all of this in black and white: in his bestseller "Dare More #Capitalism," published in 2008. The CDU politician continues to reiterate the book's theses to this day. And they are extremely dangerous. More on this from Ole Nymoen and Wolfgang M. Schmitt in the new episode of "Prosperity for All." Literature: Thomas Biebricher: Intellectual and Moral Turnaround.
