Abstract
It is now time to take stock and to see how the arguments presented by the various authors can be used to answer the questions raised in Chapter 1. These questions are:
-
what are the advantages and disadvantages of the Rhineland model relative to the Anglo-Saxon model for structuring the economy?
-
are the changes in the Netherlands an example for the necessary changes in the Federal Republic of Germany and other Member States of the European Union?
-
will the increased internationalisation and the strife for integration in Europe result in a uniform structuring of the European economies?
