As the international division of labor proceeds further, the import content of German products will continue to increase, which means that rising exports will lead to fewer domestic jobs and less income growth. Unless and until German workers accept the need for greater flexibility in the face of global competition, export profits will continue to be invested abroad, reducing overall production costs – and reinforcing the bazaar economy at home.
随着国际分工的加深，德国产品的进口含量将继续增加。这意味着增长的出口将伴随越来越少的国内就业机会和更低的收入增长。除非德国工人面临全球竞争而接受更大的灵活性的需要，否则，出口利润将会继续被投资到国外以便降低总体生产成本，并且增强国内的集市经济而并不创造更多的就业机会。
