01 Krisenbewältigung: Sparen, konsumieren oder investieren?
Der österreichische Finanzminister des Krisenjahres 1919, Joseph A. Schumpeter, postulierte: „Der einzige Weg zum Heil liegt darin, dass wir uns hinauf sparen und hinauf hungern, das wird unser Schicksal noch für geraume Zeit sein“. Steht uns heute, nach Schuldenpolitik und geringem Wachstumspotenzial ein ähnliches Schicksal bevor? Wie viel müssen wir als Staat sparen? Verzichten wir dadurch nicht auf Wachstum? Kommen wir mit mehr Konsum oder mit mehr Wettbewerbsfähigkeit aus der Krise? Ist das, was uns kurzfristig hilft, auch langfristig sinnvoll? Wo liegen die größten Spar- und Wachstumspotenziale und wie können wir sie erfolgreich wecken?
