Talk:Social issues in Germany

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It would be good to get more native language sources. My german is pretty weak. Hopefully this one will turn out a little less contentiously than the Social issues in the United States article. -- Reboot

A good source of info about Germany is the faz.com site. It's a kind of English version of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany's largest (conservative) daily. "F.A.Z. Weekly" also appears in print every Friday as a supplement of the International Herald Tribune (IHT), though in Germany only. "F.A.Z. Weekly" is partly written by American journalists who live in Germany. The rest are translations from the German daily. Also check out spiegel.de, Germany's biggest (leftish liberal) weekly magazine. You will find a link to news in English on the right side of the home page. - Heimdal 16:38, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I lived in Germany for a little while but my German is more than rusty. I on the Soziale Marktwirtschaft... I knew that...doh! Ah yes, I used to read both Zeitung and Der Spiegel.... Thanks for the tip! Also any issues you can point out would be helpful. - Reboot 18:21, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Der Spiegel has also just published a glossy "special" magazine in English language (its first one ever) entitled The Germans. It should also be available in the U.S. It covers pretty much every aspect of Germany - history, politics, the economy, culture, social issues! ... Regarding the "soziale Marktwirtschaft". I was perhaps too cocksure about the right spelling, because your version with the small "s" was probably correct. - Heimdal 12:28, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Removing the dispute because there is nothing on the "talk" page about what is disputed. Reboot 21:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
