Made in Germany gives an inside view of the global economy, provides gripping business reports from the heart of Europe. From the world’s financial markets to the offices of top CEO’s, our reporters are where the economic action is. Every week top-flight business analysts visit our Berlin studios and explain current economic developments as they happen. Freiburg in the south-west of Germany is home to the most modern solar community in the world. The Plusenergiehaus® is based on a multiple modular design system and shows how solar power not only saves electricity costs but also brings in money. The solar panels on the rooves of these new houses produce more power than they use. The surplus is fed into the public power grid, allowing home owners to actually earn up to 5000 euros a year. Designed by local architects, this trailblazing solar energy estate attracts scores of international visitors keen to see how it's done. Joachim Eggers on a place in the sun.

Greek Privatization Fund - Is it fair?
One of the conditions for the third bailout deal for ...
One of the conditions for the third bailout deal for Greece requires the establishment of a privatization fund. This condition is bitterly contested, with the Greek government arguing it is a form of paternalism. The question remains: should Greece be forced to sell a portion of its state-owned assets and place the proceeds in a fund to serve as security for lenders and banks?
