In Beyond Material Salvation, Licensed Insolvency Trustee Shawn Stack pulls back the curtain on Canada’s debt system, exposing how insolvency isn’t just about numbers—it’s about identity, shame, exploitation, and the stories we’re told about what we owe and to whom.

Niko Paech forderte 2012 in »Befreiung vom Überfluss« eine radikale Abkehr von diesem Weg. Er warnte vor den falschen Versprechen »grünen« Wachstums und prognostizierte, dass trotz aller Klimagipfel und »nachhaltigen« Produkte die Zerstörung der Umwelt weiter voranschreiten würde. Und er behielt recht. Sein legendäres Manifest prägte die Debatte über den Kapitalismus. Nun liegt es in einer aktualisierten Auflage vor, die von Fridays for Future über Pandemie bis zur wachsenden Politikverdrossenheit neue Entwicklungen einbezieht. Paechs Gedanken sind heute aktueller denn je.
