Story1
How important is luck in economic success? No question more reliably divides conservatives from liberals. As conservatives correctly observe, people who amass great fortunes are almost always talented and hardworking. But liberals are also correct to note that countless others have those same qualities yet never earn much. In recent years, social scientists have discovered that chance plays a much larger role in important life outcomes than most people imagine.

Story0
Society embraces regulations that limit physical harm to others, as when smoking restrictions are defended as protecting bystanders from secondhand smoke. But we have been slower to endorse parallel steps that discourage harmful social environments, as when regulators fail to note that the far greater harm caused when someone becomes a smoker is to make others more likely to smoke. In Under the Influence, Robert Frank attributes this regulatory asymmetry to the laudable belief that individuals should accept responsibility for their own behavior.

Story0
Although middle-income families don't earn much more than they did several decades ago, they are buying bigger cars, houses, and appliances. To pay for them, they spend more than they earn and carry record levels of debt. In a book that explores the very meaning of happiness and prosperity in America today, Robert Frank explains how increased concentrations of income and wealth at the top of the economic pyramid have set off "expenditure cascades" that raise the cost of achieving many basic goals for the middle class.

Es stellt sich längst nicht mehr die Frage, ob der Crash kommen wird - sondern lediglich wann. Denn alle Maßnahmen zur Banken-, Länder- und Eurorettung laufen auf volkswirtschaftliche Schadensmaximierung und den Staatsbankrott Deutschlands hinaus. Die Enteignung der Bürger für diesen Fall wird längst vorbereitet. Staatsanleihen, Renten- und Lebensversicherungen, Konten - das sind die großen Verlierer im Falle eines Crashs.

Kriminelle Spekulanten und ahnungslose Politiker haben ein nachhaltiges Wirtschaften verdrängt. Der Mensch ist in den Hintergrund geraten und wir mussten erkennen: Finanzkapitalismus ist schlicht und einfach schlechter Kapitalismus. In "Kapitalfehler" erklärt das Bestsellerduo Weick/ Friedrich allgemein verständlich, wie ein vernünftiger Kapitalismus wirklich funktionieren kann, und es scheut sich nicht, Fehlentwicklungen, die verbrecherischen Banken sowie die wahren Abzocker klar zu benennen.

In seinem neuesten Reiseabenteuer wagt sich der Schisser in die Weiten und Gefahren des Netzes, die seine abenteuerlustige Frau längst souverän meistert.

Die Finanzkrise 2008 erschütterte die Grundfesten unseres Finanzsystems. Die monetären, die sozialen und die politischen Auswirkungen spüren wir bis heute. Die beispiellosen Rettungsorgien von EZB & Co. sowie ein historisch einmaliges Notenbankexperiment dauerhafter Nullzinsen enteignen Sparer, Kleinanleger und Versicherungsnehmer. Eine gigantische Steuer- und Abgabenlast raubt der Mittelschicht jeden finanziellen Spielraum. Parallel wird neuerdings noch über Enteignungen nachgedacht - und diese werden kommen.

Nur sechs Tage lang, vom 7. bis zum frühen Morgen des 13. April 1919, währte die Bayerische Räterepublik, die auch als "Dichterrepublik" in die Geschichte einging und deren wichtigstes Sprachrohr der Anarchist Erich Mühsam war. Sechs Tage, die bis heute sozialrevolutionäre Träume von einer gesellschaftlichen Alternative zu Parlamentarismus einerseits und Parteidiktatur andererseits beflügeln.

During Mardi Gras 1973, Stewart Butler (1930–2020) fell in love with Alfred Doolittle—a wealthy socialite and schizophrenic from San Francisco. Their relationship was an improbable love story that changed the course of LGBTQ+ history. With Doolittle's money, Butler was able to retire and devote his life to political activism in the cause of queer liberation.
