Infos

The list of economic scandals is extensive and growing. But as long as we fail to recognize the pattern behind all these individual 'scandals', both our personal and public awareness become weary. Only when finally the consequences of all those 'scandals' become evident, when major floods or heatwaves, financial or other disasters pop up, only then it seems is society ready to wake up. But even then the risk of scapegoating or the longing for a saviour or political charlatan is big.

Autor

Herbert Storn has been an active trade unionist (GEW) for over 30 years, is a board member of ‘Gemeingut in BürgerInnenhand’ and chairman of Business Crime Control. He gains his insights from the active disputes between these organisations and policies that increasingly leave the initiative to private consultancy groups. Their private calculation of returns cannot remain without consequences for the common good, promotes the criminal economy and undermines democracy. Storn thus builds upon the conclusions from his earlier books: ‘Mit Demokratie ernst machen’ and ‘Germany First! Die heimliche deutsche Agenda’ (both only available in German) - also for the overdue ecological transformation.
