It’s been almost a year after the last episode of Berlinology was published. A show that was completely dedicated to Hartz IV or the unemployed program in Germany. Little did I know that 6 months later, I myself would be on that program, looking out for jobs.
-
On the Hartz reforms, the welfare state and Germany's precarious labour sector.
