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.

From $5 workdays and assembly lines to failed jungle utopias and antisemitic newspapers, Ford traces how one man’s obsession with control rewired labor, society, and even ideology. Henry Ford didn’t just manufacture vehicles — he mass-produced a system where people became parts, mobility became dependence, and efficiency became the highest virtue. Along the way, he inspired nations, built empires, and — whether he meant to or not — lit sparks that helped fuel one of history’s darkest regimes.

The dollar is everywhere. In your wallet. In your bank account. In your debt, your paycheck, your rent, your retirement — even your dreams. But what is it, really? This isn’t just a history of American money. It’s a story of belief. From revolution to global empire, In Green We Trust traces the rise of the dollar — not just as currency, but as mythology. Gold. Oil. Paper. Wars. Crashes. Promises. Lies. Every chapter unpacks how a piece of green paper became the most powerful object on Earth — and what happens when the world starts questioning what it’s really worth.

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.

Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience―including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals.
