Abstract

Die Kommission der EU führt die Stagnation der europäischen Wirtschaft vor allem auf überhöhte Sozialausgaben und zu geringe Flexibilität zurück. Nun ist nicht zu leugnen, dass gerade die großen europäischen Staaten die Periode raschen Wirtschaftswachstums, in der sie einen erheblichen Teil ihres Produktivitätsrückstands gegenüber den USA aufholten, nicht zu einer Anpassung von Sozialsystemen und Regulierung an die neuen Bedingungen des vervielfachten Wohlstands nutzten; der daraus resultierende Reformstau ist aber bloß eine, keinesfalls die wichtigste und bloß indirekte Ursache der europäischen Stagnation. Die wichtigsten Ursachen sind zweifellos die falsche, zu restriktive Geldpolitik der Europäischen Zentralbank sowie die kontraproduktive Maastricht-Regelung, die die Staaten zu einer prozyklischen Fiskalpolitik zwingt; die Schwächen der europäischen F&E-Politik dürfen gleichfalls nicht übersehen werden. ln dem Beitrag wird eine weitere wichtige Erklärung, die ,Neue Unsicherheit', aufgezeigt und deren Verursachung untersucht.
