The Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter once wrote on Marx' economic theory that "...Marx' economic ideas are embedded into a variety of very hot (in German: "dampfende") phrases which gives them a temperature which is far from the own temperature" (from "Kapitalismus, Sozialismus und Demokratie", own translation). The same can be said about the structural reform debate in Germany.
