Justus Lenz and Liberales Institut/March 2, 2021 /Leave a comment

In recent months, many countries have introduced enormous stimulus packages to help their economies overcome the devastation caused by the COVID-19 crisis.

Devastating Impact of Rent Control in Germany (and Abroad

Dirk Assmann and Liberales Institut/November 23, 2020 /Leave a comment

Berlin’s recently introduced rent control policy is Germany’s single most stringent rent regulation tool. The law prohibits any rental increases for a period of five years. In the case of new rentals, the rent a landlord is allowed to charge is determined by fixed reference values based on the age and fittings of the unit in question.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Farewell to the “Old” America?

Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger and Liberales Institut/November 19, 2020 /Leave a comment

The legacy of Bader Ginsburg, who was nominated to a seat on the DC circuit appeals court by Jimmy Carter in 1980 and finally nominated for the Supreme Court by Bill Clinton in 1993, is the social equality of women, LGBTIQ and other minorities. She fought for an open America that finds its strength in diversity.

Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger and Liberales Institut/August 3, 2020August 3, 2020 /Leave a comment

Christine Frohn and Liberales Institut/July 30, 2020 /Leave a comment

In June 2020, the German cabinet introduced a regulation banning certain single-use products made of plastic; the European Union had already introduced a similar regulation in May 2019. In future, the sale of products such as throwaway plastic cutlery, plates, straws and cotton buds will be prohibited.

Towering Problems in German Education

Thomas Clausen and Liberales Institut/January 27, 2020 /Leave a comment

The quality of Germany’s educational system will also have an impact on its economic success. Since the German economy is based to a considerable extent on world-leading technology, a passing score can rapidly turn into rustication. Therefore, some liberal extra lessons are urgently needed.

Trump, Bolsonaro, How Dare You (Ignore Climate Change)?

Christine Frohn and Liberales Institut/January 22, 2020January 22, 2020 /Leave a comment

How can international climate protection work if the Trumps and Bolsanaros of this world attempt to block it with all their might? Climate protection can only be achieved via joint negotiations and compromises as well as constructive cooperation between the members of the global community.
