Einigkeit und Recht und Selbstmitleid! Ist unsere selbstverliebte und durch eine pathologische Opferolle definierte Gesellschaft wirklich das Modell der Zukunft?

This Audiobook is not a blueprint for the future, but a philosophical exploration of the crisis of the present. It argues that capitalism, once animated by the promise of profit and endless growth, is now eroding from within.
