60 Minutes: Sustainable fiscal policy - investments over debt?

Germany is facing a variety of challenges. The need for financing is considerable, particularly for investments in climate protection and the energy transition. There is a significant investment backlog in public infrastructure. Can these huge tasks be reconciled with the debt brake anchored in the Basic Law? Do we need exceptions or adjustments to the debt brake?  What role do special budgets play in this? How can sustainable financial policy succeed in this environment?

The discussion will be held by:

Moderation: Christian Leßmann (TU Dresden)
