Eine höhere Mehrwertsteuer scheint für Schwarz-Rot der leichteste Weg, um das Haushaltsloch zu stopfen. Aber er wäre ökonomisch, sozial und politisch fatal. , Diese Kolumne von Marcel Fratzscher erschien am 20. Februar 2026 in der ZEIT in der Reihe Fratzschers Verteilungsfragen., Die Debatte über Steuerreformen wirkt gerade wie ein Wettbewerb im Versprechenmachen: weniger Steuern hier, höhere Renten dort, mehr Entlastung für die Mitte.

Is the present juncture a crisis or an opportunity for international cooperation? The answer is: both. For many in the North, established practices are clearly under strain, generating a pervasive sense of crisis. At the same time, actors in the Global South see an opportunity to shape a more inclusive and equitable multilateral system. This has long been a central aspiration.
