Robert Pollin says Americans could learn how to succeed in the era of globalization by using Germany as an example

Robert N. Pollin, Distinguished Professor in economics and co-director of the Political Economy Research Institute, says Americans could learn how to succeed in the era of globalization by using Germany as an example. He says despite its high wages, Germany is “an export powerhouse. They achieved this success through aggressive industrial policy.” Pollin is commenting in an analysis of the presidential campaign and the issues that are resonating with voters. (The Nation, 9/30/16)
