think for you to sour elan mosque has completed his 40 folds, $1000000000.00 takeover of tweet that the tech billionaire followed through on the purchase after twitter. it took him to court to trying to back out of the deal. the test, the c. e. o says he wants to dial back tweed, his content safeguards to promote free speech. you're watching d. w. use, of course, is more on our website, w dot com on our breaking news and on social media to f. d w. i'm jarrett great. thanks for joining us. have a great day ah, the country that will host the world caught between transformation and exploitation with between education and tradition. between cosmopolitan flare and captivating wilderness. the portrait of the desert state

full of contradictions. guitar starts november 11th on d. w. ah. ah, grecian, the 1980s, driven by golden unemployment, working people from all over the country took to the streets. they started in liverpool and marched on london. the situation was explosive. the working class, which had been born during the industrial revolution was taking his stand to defend its rights with

me when you when you, when you st. john's same face. this drawing by the government market such as economic model, born out of the 1929 crossed it now following the peoples of the previous decade, fracture was reviving, it just gets belzoni. this was on this. so what happened in the 1970s. optimism of the economic miracle years subsided at the same time economic seriously. milton friedman was from hyatt put forward a counter theory. the last date, the better this clash of new development and theories, the letter paradise island high believed that a big state was a threat to freedom. he valued freedom even above equality. and i think that that value meant that he constructed a sort of theory of how the economy should work, which we now call less

a fair or the washington consensus, or that sort of very liberal tradition of economic policy making that we should let markets do their business and let individuals make their choices. his famous book, the road to serfdom, had a big influence on margaret thatcher as well as on reagan. as soon as she took off this prime minister in may, 979, she implemented hyatt principles, comp, privatization, and to return to a pre world war 2 minimal state. to be done. she's a very big figure in british history because she was really the 1st person who told britain, after many decades of decline, that actually britain shouldn't accept that it will forever be declining. it could turn it around. and then she, you know, in a very tough way said that some hard medicine had to be taken. some difficult decisions had to be taken by industry about taxation about government spending. and

so the 1st country to introduce the welfare state also became the 1st to try to eradicate it. some 50 years later, to do this, thatcher had to 1st strike a blow to the trade unions in her eyes. they represented a form of socialism. when she planned to close 20 mines, which were deemed unprofitable, $80000.00 miners went on strike. the longest strike in british history. it lasted from 1984 to 1995. using all her power, thatcher crushed it. the tragic results. 3 did 20000 injured 11300 arrested a 100 year old workers trade union culture was being suffocated and the people simply shrugged. under mrs. thatcher, the welfare state was regarded as some getting something for nothing. it was regarded as a disincentive to works or if he were given benefits,

you would not be not be interested in working so, so she reset everything really. the biggest thing she did and the most kind of unnoticed, almost because it wasn't, it's kind of people didn't kind of put it all together. was to privatize massive corporations which had been state run. it was always sold in a way that made it seem. am that it wasn't quite giving it all away. oh, she did that it cancel housing. she did it with the utility and she did it with his gas. she did it, firm telecoms and for local council, she, again, part of the state less government met, lower taxes and less money for public services. thatcher began drastically lowering the tax rate for those with the highest incomes . and for companies, inequality increased almost immediately. if you look at the sort of a,

a measure of inequality of britain over the 1980s, it was one of the most sharp increases inequality anywhere on the planet in there. so these were savage policies when you get to the end of that. and she introduces this thing called the poll tax, which effectively makes it even more expensive for poor people to have houses. the fetch a government's poll tax called for a per capita housing tax, a tax per individual, regardless of income, and no longer her household. thus it resembled the english pole tax of the middle ages, basically taking money from her, from the poor and giving her to the rich. it was the opposite of robin hood. it was so obvious to people that they were gonna get enormous bills are. and that's why the poets as movement took house off across the country and in many places since nobody, even instigating it, be amazed, people suddenly can say and they put aide what people do in those situations and

have done so at history again is not gonna pay it and the slogan became, am, can't pay, won't pay. ah, with no self proclaimed leader like today's yellow vests in france, the pole tax revolt by past party politics, massive demonstrations like the one in trafalgar square in march 1990 turned into ryan. government realized belatedly, that they, they had taken a step too far and that they needed to kind of her back down. and of course, it also played into the whole politics within the conservative party about margaret thatcher, who sort of had outlived her purpose. i think the poll tax protest to succeeded with the trade unions had failed. in the end,

they brought down the fetch government with the legacy of fetches, neo liberal audiology. something she shared with ronald reagan left a lasting mark on the nation's political life. in germany to nearly liberals promised an economic upswing and prosperity. on november, the 9th 1989, the berlin wall felt the liberation of the people in the g. d. out was followed by re unification. something that was widespread celebration in range to in a few hours, the dream will become reality. now, after more than 40, better years at division, german jumped, our fatherland is reunited. i am in the midst of all this euphoria, the governments of the east and west still had to find some common ground.

have your mac and i. and then we are creating an economic and monetary unions when you aren't. as i see a few of the day by this means, we will introduce the deutsche mark that into east germany. knowing full well that its economy was no competitor. certainly, the idea is congruence vague. while this monetary union imposed by the westwood to the detriment of the east, which had to adapt quickly to a market economy. when bush grits wiser, the that is, who knows mark to the australian vote. for example, the traditional markets, the east german economy kilometers from one day to the next day. and if west germany, farms are allowed to buy off a small east german further than it is clear. of course, the west chimneys accumulating much greater prosperity than east germany or through our storage land. during his election campaign, helmut kohl had promised east germans that the market economy would bring them prosperity to finance, to re unification he introduced in your tax. each day he bought a gig,

rob said for trade and the i can sort who has all is against it. then argued that such a solidarity surcharge was needed to bring the budget back into some sort of order in the medium term in order to bring in the new solidarity tax. all sali was paid by all germans based on income. it was seen differently in the west than in the east. many west jim felt that they were carrying the burden of re unification. while in the east, people were grappling with an entirely new social system in the mid 19 eighties, neoliberalism and privatization also to cult in france. unemployment and poverty skyrocketed with societies. inequality is becoming increasingly pronounced. french people were going hungry, but it wasn't the government who came to the rescue. rather an actor who went by the name of kalu stepped in. he created aristo sticker or restaurants of the

heart. a french charity, which distributed food to those in need. for the sure you and for me all dress, if i like russia is all these are unemployed. people with families, not homeless people go, we prefer to get on groceries instead of prepared food, eating here with the family, with shame here if you pick up groceries and no one knows it was a donation. awful. let me in 1990 the social security contributions of the work as an employer's was no longer enough to cover social security and unemployment benefits. so who prime minister michelle ra car, a socialist created a new tax? the c s g? this is very clear armina. forget holland is so. so celsius g was introduced in 1992 and as a type of income tax is proportional and non progressive, the tax rate remains the same regardless of income level. it is a tax id, i think it is, but it goes into the coffers of the social security system and not into the state covers be blotted to you if the school is own reorganize, so to speak,

in order to be able to finance an ever larger part of social security through tactile a situation and not only through social security contribution, it's all about equity. that's also, sir, meant that the financing of social security was moving away from the model that had been in place since the 2nd world war 5 years later as you pay plan was intended to push this change even further. we love was it the like? was it? yes, france is at a crossroads. love? yes. france to day has only the choice between change who decline regular? ah, ah, the will cause rebels seeing the plan as a diminishment of their social rights. within 24 hours, 2000000 people were out on the streets. something not seen since may 1968. the unions brought france to a standstill,

forcing the government to drop as you pay plan, which would have also raised the retirement age for civil servants. 30 years later, the retirement age is still a contentious topic. oh my god, i'm just being felice. do i get 1092 euros pension and i pay 550 euros rent? i'll starve to death. and i worked 40 years in a hospital with anomaly. so i have been working since i was 15 years old. i will be $62.00 and of k contributions for 47 years. ah. 15 years we've been retired. there hasn't been a dime of increase. and today you want a satellite with a social security tax as a married couple get used to our complaints until we're dead. i am a widow. please don't cut what little money our poor husband slave so hard for in 42 years of hard work, but never been adrenal stuff. i've earned my retirement fear in square. don't

destroy the system. with the signing of the master treaty in 1992, the welfare state was further eroded. the treaty enabled the free movement of goods, people and cat, who was in the european union, a win for the ideology, thatcher and reagan. such arizona reagan is almost a such are ism and reagan is amazing. i mean the regulations, the fleming softener board and curbing government protectionism fair. but the market sorted out the only the companies growth is eggplant, benefits, key york. that makes for high profits, which have helped some emerging markets across programming and allowed developing countries to come industrialized and grow. a comment also has drawbacks design, especially when it comes to taxes that mom at sack. so it's now playing almost dominant ra hip on the weakening capital taxation. good enough, phoebe get deprived countries of any ability to collect their taxes on the campus.

regardless of the social market is on book. is that what they can? gus? one more. they're so scared to shakopee on january 1st, 2002, the euro was launched. one single currency, which immediately facilitated the free movement of capital, with the exception of britain, which didn't adopt the euro. member states gave up the prerogative of controlling their own currency. that within the common market, no provisions were made for protecting member countries. text systems, local success will be n. s. ed. okay, do something for new. the construction of the european union should have been accompanied by social and fiscal legislation. that did not happen them. work was only done on trade regulations to combat state monopolies if war and remove restrictions on the movement of goods vote no thought at all was given to the impact this might have on corporate structures law. but if a company has a space thick in which it can move freely and can locate its production in a country where employees costs less. sure,

and there are fewer social security contributions and non wage labor costs. g m one, then it will set up its production there. that if there are no taxes on intellectual property in another country, if that's a bits holding company, they're presented as a result. the e. u has created a new set of structures for corporations, including internationally operating french corporation to the will p competing hope, flossie and international to keep friends attractive to its own professionals. the government began granting special fiscal dispensations. this led to a boom in tax exemptions. ah, lability to the loan to present, present pre so shoot to fit to politicians are becoming increasingly powerless due to the strong influence of you legislation. so no one of the few ways to respond to the demand for tax cuts i did do is to give tax. great. notice it's easy to do that

if it's just passively deep. and that's how it's being done. got decompose the is a political tool to, to serve tax cutting interests. the problem, unfortunately, category is that only a few benefit result isn't that the general public key does not benefit if you are gal intelligent. hi, this is tay systems are very complex and lead to greater justices lives, understand how tax expenditure amounts to a 100000000000 euros. so me as one parliamentarian puts it in a nutshell, me about behind every taxi park looks at dog, jojo sion, the old principal, a fair taxation, a legacy of the french revolution, began to disappear. meanwhile, the quest attacks optimization opened up new horizons. the sun, the hagar from blacks, ellison hug, multi in the rules, are complicated to you. they are varies, and the are global at the same time do accordingly. and there are many who take advantage of the situation. this is legal means assume they are not tax of eaters will fill up the tax optimization. so the only ensures that they pay as little tax

as possible to acquire you. they basically just make use of what the legal framework as a liar look at, met the defense the tax optimization of large corporations had a direct impact on the people who have all g 8 in g, 20 countries support multinational corporations playing labor markets off against each other the global north against the south. the sa lane remaining competitive in germany with the unemployment rate after reunification was 12 percent. chancellor schroeder government introduced measures targeting unemployment benefits and labor costs. when in 2005, the hots for reforms were announced, the middle class understood it to could be threatened with poverty in the hip at all for the hubs. few of our mission for the of its laws. the real threats of hearts for was not for the unemployed region. rather the threat lane consequences

for the labor market to such shaleeko. and as a result of halts for a low wage sector established itself in germany, especially in saxony amounting law. the strategy of the state government at the time believed was to sell saxony on off low wage state. look here, people work here for less money to get with saxony, unhealthy. what? to visit the east gym and social model. there were the costs head, the pool, 1st, bush mooney, ga child, him, a guy does not only the german social democracy that starts at social costs is the creed, the scared. it's also applies to the party socially into the social democratic party. and frog is she knows of it, it is true of the spanish, motionless work as party witness. it is also true of the italian communist, whoever you look on monday, a one point for the dilution of neoliberalism dom reason. thus abandoned, the thinking of the social democrats and socialists of

awe was the decline of social democracy. the eye is in taxation to redistribute wealth, and thus reducing qualities was gradually fighting blue. in 2005 europeans were asked to for a common european constitution voted, but the lens and france rejected it. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, but what is the people's vote worth, though just the movement of goods and capital bill. they said the treaty of lisbon was signed, but the tracy that was rejected by voters, this damage as would have consequences. but 19 the yellow vests. i'm convinced that red democracy wasn't really working. ah, vote a new

e u treaty that is inclusive and my blade does not distort the outcome of the vote . a new dish. and that also allows for referendums, no more invisible, appease. they should talk with the citizens, one term only abolish the constitutional monarchy. the revived political debate from crisis to crisis. the li, excited politics became more and more clear that financial crisis of 2009 lucas made it. there was globalization without regulation, sol, heygood rob, lies ation. thanks to be regular. really good. as for, do you have rousing effect on market starting with the real estate market in the banks with the backing of the government's drug into debt for home ownership, with adjustable rate mortgages? do you need all the ones?

oh did interest rates rose, benefiting the banks and the market, but hurting debt is no longer for their mortgages into default on their payments. multiplied true wide, the prime financial crisis banking system. what was on the brink government's rush to save the banks, keeping them afloat. the public money much, what remained of countries welfare states was sacrificed to say the banker's britain was at the forefront of their financial institutions. some of the most powerful in the world don't get to meet the welfare state. they had to participate showing exactly what george osborne the to and i was planning with his us dirty program. my 1st budget was standing there. i was love us. and i also knew i had to announce and rather surprise, a country that we were going to do

a whole set of difficult things like retirement age for people hope to pay the nurses and the teachers flat. increase the taxes that are very rich, people paid all, all these things that were not easy to announce. and i think people were expecting me to do it in front announcements over several years and i did it in one guy when an option in germany. the approach was strict finance. mr. moore can show blood in the same course as george osborne me, a liberalism was on the rise of at the expense of the most vulnerable are done up to the dog haddy. but as the government mastered the crisis, well, thanks to some great economic achievement culture by with the use of part time work programs, youth met 8 o many investment program or common of all, as well as with incentives for consumption, humans and investments for social security, obsolete we mastered the crisis good to my son with wolfgang show adler in charge
