This is a panel and audience discussion on how Germany can be a leader in the Digital Economy. Rather than copying the Silicon Valley model, Germany can forge a new “Way of Innovation” that ensures that a more tech-driven economy doesn’t further enlarge the gap between “haves” and “have-nots.” The right policies will build on German strengths in a way that enhances the virtuous circles of social capitalism.

How can Germany can be a leader in the Digital Economy? Rather than copying the Silicon Valley model, how can Germany forge a new “Way of Innovation” that ensures a more tech-driven economy doesn’t further enlarge the gap between the “haves” and “have-nots”? Silicon Valley has launched new startup companies and corralled our private data in ways that both amaze and alarm us. But the most profound change of all is coming in how people work. Many businesses today prefer to hire workers who are contractors, freelancers and solo self-employed rather than permanent or full-time, because they want a labor force they can turn on and off like a light bulb – “fired by algorithm.” Many of these companies pay low wages, with no social welfare protections and little future. Some experts view this model as a threat to Germany’s prosperity, which has been based on solidarity and co-determination between the different economic sectors. Germany appears to be only a few years behind the US in experiencing this new type of “job inequality,” in which certain types of jobs are a lot better than others. Could a universal, portable social welfare net that covers all workers, including freelancers, help preserve a broadly shared prosperity in Germany? Could a Guaranteed/Universal Basic Income play that function? Or how about other ideas proposed by government leaders, such as to create more flexibility in the workday for employed people?

Panelists include:

Steven Hill is a frequent columnist for Die Zeit and Handelsblatt, and author of the recently published book "Die Startup Illusion: Wie die Internet- Ökonomie unseren Sozialstaat ruiniert" (Droemer Knaur, May 2017). www.Steven-Hill.com and @StevenHill1776
