> Not investing sufficiently into education, public Infrastructure, hospitals, and probably more. Inefficient bureaucracy everywhere.

Youre blaming this on markets? Germanys problem is an overly rigid beuarcratic state that refuses to run a deficit, not overly free markets.

It is also part of the free market ideologists' ideas, that a hospital must be profitable, a school must be profitable, and similar absurd ideas. It is also part of their ideology, that school children go without lunch as a consequence.
