The Finance Minister and the Third Way 2.0

Yesterday, we had the German finance minister at the Erfurt School of Public Policy. He was asking how we can achieve societal cohesion in a transforming world? He criticized the missing loyalty of the disembedded, globally networked [class], but also pleaded for a faster-moving, leaner, and network-literate Germany. His guiding ideas were that we need to foster the freedom to participate in the public sphere, achieve equality in access to education, increase social mobility, and maintain distributive justice. Do watch the very cool video (edited by Sven, I think – thanks to Kai for emailing the link).
