Jürgen Becker
Strohgasse 13, 53545 Linz am Rhein
"Deine Disco" - History in discs - how music makes politics
So, let's have a nice evening! Because it's still quiet. But everyone senses that it won't stay that way.
Capitalism is based on infinite growth. But how is that supposed to work on a finite planet?
The finale of our fossil-fuelled fireworks collapses with a Chinese firecracker of all things. Even neoliberal economists are now shrugging their shoulders guiltily and talking about market failure. Have we fucked up? Ecology and economics are causing our customary law and our utility bills to become very confused. A ground-breaking, angry storm is on the horizon.
So are we going to put our hands up to the heating element and drive our SUVs to the wall after the party? Or are we going to turn the corner into an enjoyable life full of comic intelligence? Jürgen Becker develops the optimal optimism without opiates and brings us all under his warm blanket. He investigates exactly what holds the world together when it falls apart - and how it pays off for everyone to save you now. His humour lets the air in, keeps the window of opportunity ajar and makes advances.
You go home and think: there's still time!
