Zufällig folgender Textabschnitt in einem Flassbeck-Artikel gefunden:
Germany’s vigorous attempt to tackle its persistently
high unemployment rate was clearly grounded in the
neoclassical conviction that lower wages would result in
a more labour-intensive mode of production. After work-
ing-time reduction schemes had failed to deliver the
expected result, union leaders signed a tripartite agree-
ment in 1996 to abandon the formula hitherto used to
determine wage growth – based on equal participation
of workers in productivity growth (compared to capital)
– and instead agreed to “reserve productivity growth for
employment”.3
