Im zweiten Teil der Reise will Sabine Christiansen diese Fragen mit Deutschlands bekanntestem Ökonomen, Prof. Hans Werner Sinn, erörtern. Kein anderer Ökonom hat die wirtschaftlichen Debatten der vergangen Jahrzehnte so stark geprägt wie er. Ob Wiedervereinigung, Sozialstaatsdebatte, Klimapolitik oder Finanzkrise stets bezog der Wissenschaftler klare, nicht immer mehrheitsfähige Positionen. Mit der Flüchtlingspolitik und der ungelösten Euro-Krise sieht Sinn auf Deutschland gewaltige Probleme zukommen.
