Bündnis für Arbeit: Korporatismus statt Wettbewerb

Will Chancellor Schröder's alliance for employment, one of the central projects of his government, be able to deal effectively with the present employment crisis? Norbert Berthold and Rainer Hank show that the alliance will at best stabilize the employment crisis, at worst aggravate it. Using the policies in other countries as examples, they demonstrate that competition on all levels leads to more employment, that it can coordinate economic and social policy more efficiently and thus is superior by far to corporatism.
