Will Friedrich Merz get Germany to abandon its fiscal fetish? via @FT

@hjecon Yes, that seems correct. Rigid solutions are rare in economics.

@WielandVolker No, these are separate issues.

@WielandVolker Indeed, but that is not because of the smaller public debt. Flexible labor markets and an efficient public administration, arising from more pragmatism and less religion in public policy. Perhaps also less dependence on a single sector/export market?

@lexhoogduin What is 10% of GDP between friends?

@lexhoogduin Again we agree. The question is whether consumption should be cut one-for-one as investment rises or if some borrowing makes sense. Since the returns on investment come in the (far) future, it seems to me that some limiting borrowing makes sense. This is the mortgage analogy.

@lexhoogduin So we agree, except on the question on whether saving should come before investment. This is where my mortgage analogy comes in.
