Now, with Germany’s economy no longer functioning smoothly, capital moving abroad, and unemployment rising, criticism of capitalism is again gaining momentum. The public is upset about top managers’ salaries and the fact that big German companies fire workers despite record profits.
如今，在德国经济不再如以前那样正常运作、资本不断流向国外、失业率持续上升的情形下，对资本主义的批评声重新抬头。上层主管的高额收入以及一些德国大公司尽管账面盈利但却开始解雇工人的做法让人们心烦意乱。作为回应，政府开始敦促高层主管公布他们的收入，并取消了曾一度被视为神圣不可侵犯的银行保密规定。
