Economic Cycles

Fluctuations of the Economy



»Growth is not everything, that is true. But without growth, everything is nothing.  Without growth, no jobs; without growth, no reform of the social security systems; without growth, declining wealth; without growth, more and more people will fall by the wayside.«

Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel, February 2010
