Germany’s “social-ecological market economy” is a textbook illustration of this dynamic. The state declares hydrogen and other favored technologies to be the “future,” pours billions into subsidies, and attempts to construct markets by decree. Yet even an official body like the Federal Audit Office now describes this as a “planned economy approach” and doubts that the government will reach its own goals. In all likelihood, Germany is about to confirm once again what Mises showed in theory a century ago: planned economies do not deliver their promised outcomes. Instead, they generate rising costs, failing projects, and increasing chaos—while making society poorer in the process.

Investors like predictable markets.
It’s how rich people stay rich.
Fascism is good for them.
In the US, our government is buying shares in publicly traded companies, e.g., MP Materials and Intel.
Soviet.....
Germany Is Now Officially a (poorly) Planned Economy
Scheisse im die hosen! Werden diese dummen Idioten es nie lear?
This is not fascism. It is communism, like all the rest of the EU. They move from control to ownership.
Rome was right about the Germani. Kill them. Kill them all.
Let us know how that works out for you. 🙄
Control is equivalent to ownership, but without accountability.
Historically you are wrong. "Communism" as it originated was financed by the richest people in Europe. Here is a little quote written in 1933 from Homage to Catalonia, by George Orwell:
In reality, it was the Communists above all others who prevented revolution in Spain. Later, when the Right Wing forces were in full control, the Communists showed themselves willing to go a great deal further than the Liberals in hunting down revolutionary leaders.[Snip]
Between the Communists and those who claim to stand to the Left of them there is a real difference. The Communists hold that Fascism can be beaten by alliance with sections of the capitalist class (the Popular Front); their opponents hold that this maneuver simply gives Fascism new breeding-grounds. The question has got to be settled; to make the wrong decision may be to land ourselves in for centuries of semi-slavery.
Your German is rusty ... lernen !
The Soviet model rather than National Socialism in China today and Nazi Germany.
Ja. Das ist was ich sagen. Lerne.
Wasn't the old-fashioned term "national socialism"?
Frau Merkel is not available for comment.
And I thought you meant Lear
Planned Parenthood, Planned Economy. One stifles reproduction, the other stifles productivity.
Heh heh. I did. It loses something in the translation.
I think you mean Frau Bluche?
