Dusseldorf She is one of the best-known economists in Germany: Monika Schnitzer is an expert in competition policy and innovation economics at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich. And she is one of the five economic sages, which means she advises the federal government on economic issues.
In the current issue of Handelsblatt Disrupt, Schnitzer discusses this week with editor-in-chief Sebastian Matthes how Germany’s business model is doing in view of the many current crises, what consequences inflation is having for the economy – and why there is ultimately reason for optimism.
She also explains why the strong position of Facebook and Google hinders innovation – and provides a very interesting historical comparison for this.
