Wirtschaftsgeschichte hautnah – eine Fallstudie. Die Spuren René Benkos sind unübersehbar: Paläste wie das KaDeWe in Berlin oder das Goldene Quartier in Wien, Bauruinen wie der Elbtower in Hamburg oder die Alte Akademie in München, geschlossene Filialen der Warenhauskette Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof. Keiner stieg so schnell auf wie der österreichische Unternehmer, und selbst sein Untergang wurde zum Superlativ: Die Pleite seiner Signa-Unternehmensgruppe ist die größte, die Österreich je erlebte.
