“economic patriotism”
It’s my best translation for “Standortpatriotismus”. Literally it is “location patriotism”. “Der Standort Deutschland” is a common phrase used when talking about how attractive (or not) of a location Germany is for businesses. It’s also the title of good comedy set by Gerhard Polt.
version of “buy local”
It all come from south east asia
What’s the source? I would like to share this with some folks irl
Thanks!
