This policy paper considers Germany's likely economic trajectories after the Bundestag elections scheduled for September 2013. It specifically argues that should the Red-Green coalition return to power and manage to implement its economic program, Germany would indeed change its capitalist model. It would shift the state back to the center of economic life by reducing the role of the financial sector, taxing those with higher incomes to facilitate the redistribution of wealth, regulating the labor market through a minimum wage, and speeding up the green revolution.
