Alles, was der Politik-Aktivist Arne Semsrott in seinem Bestseller Machtübernahme als Szenario einer rechtskonservativen Wende beschrieben hat, ist längst Wirklichkeit geworden – allerdings ganz ohne AfD, sondern unter Führung der CDU/SPD-Koalition: ein hartes Grenzregime, die Herabwürdigung der sozial Schwächeren, ein Ende des Klimaschutzes und eine Politik der Angst. Dieses Hörbuch zeigt, dass jede:r aktiv werden kann, um die Welt zu einem besseren Ort zu machen: Wir erfahren, was Gesundheits-Streiks bewirken und welche Verantwortung der Öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk hat.

First published in 1928, Edward Bernays’ Propaganda may be the single most important work on public relations ever to appear. Bernays (1891-1995), a nephew of Sigmund Freud, shaped the management of public opinion at a time when the modern media were beginning to take their present shape. Propaganda today has a negative connotation, but Bernays uses the term in a neutral sense. Writing in the 1920s, he redefined what he called the “new propaganda” as public relations—a name that has stuck ever since.

In cultures that champion the individual, guilt is advertised as the cornerstone of conscience. Yet while guilt holds individuals to personal standards, it proves impotent in the face of corrupt corporate policies. In recent yearswe have been asked to assuage our guilt about these problems as consumers by buying organic foods or fair-trade products, for example. Yet unless nearly everyone participates, the impact of individual consumer consciousness is microscopic.

Deutschland steht an einem Wendepunkt: Sind wir bereit, für Frieden, Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung Verantwortung zu übernehmen und Konsequenzen zu ziehen – politisch, diplomatisch und militärisch? Er analysiert Versäumnisse, benennt bequeme Narrative und zeigt, warum und welche Reformen jetzt notwendig sind. Zwischen technologischem Wandel, globalen Krisen und einer kaum verteidigungsbereiten Bundeswehr entwirft Kiesewetter zwei gegenläufige Zukunftsbilder: Werden wir zum handlungsfähigen Akteur – oder überlassen wir unsere Zukunft fremden Mächten?
