read Hall and Soskice (2001, p.21-33) as well as Bowman (2013a) and Bowman (2013b).1 Respond to the following questions: Hall and Soskice (2001) state that there are differences in the skills of workers in liberal and coordinated market economies. Describe how the skills of workers in Germany tend to differ from those of workers in the US. Bowman (2013a) describes the differences in the health care systems between Germany and the US. Could the differences in the type of skills explain the differences in health care systems? Analyze how skills and health care system might be complementary. We learned from Bowman (2013b) that the degree to which labor has the right to participate in management decisions differs between the US and Germany. Would some of the workers described by Hall and Sos- kice (2001) have a greater incentive to demand a voice in management decisions than others? Explain.
