Hans-Werner Sinn Quotes

I understand very well that politicians always have to bridge the gap until the next election, even if long-term dangers increase as a result. But as an economist, my time horizon is longer.

I aim to help the Germans and the Europeans successfully travel all the way down the path toward European integration, and I can do this more effectively if I don't commit myself to a party.

I take my profession as an economist seriously and feel a commitment to the truth. This is incompatible with having to toe the political party line.
