Ein Buch für VordenkerInnen, MeinungsmacherInnen und Feuerherzen der stillen Revolution

Short Description:
Mit seinem neuesten Werk: “Halbzeit im Kampf gegen den Mammon” zieht der ehemalige Diplomat im Dienste Österreichs nachdenklich Bilanz über eine aus den Fugen geratenen Welt, die Geld wie einen Götzen anbetet und in der Größenwahn Systeme schafft die weder überschaubar noch beherrschbar sind. Sein neuestes Buch ist an VordenkerInnen, MeinungsmacherInnen und Feuerherzen einer bereits stattfindenden “stillen” Revolution, gerichtet. Aber auch an alle kritischen BürgerInnen, die sich eine solidarischere und menschlichere Gesellschaft wünschen und schon heute an den Umbauarbeiten beteiligt sind. In seiner digitalen Form folgt das Buch den Creative Commons (CC) und ist daher kostenlos.

Long Description:
Was Paracelsus > für die Medizin gesagt hat, gilt auch bei großen Ideen: „Alles ist Gift, entscheidend ist die Dosis“ (Leopold Kohr)

Die Aufklärung hat vergessen, der linearen Vernunft mit dem Menschlichen Maß ihre Grenzen zu setzen, und so sind nun viele „große Ideen“ ins Unmaß geraten. Die Bündelung dieser Exzesse im Zeichen der Gier ist der „Mammon“ unserer Zeit; er hat einen Neo-Feudalismus entstehen lassen, der nun in Politik-Management und Hoch-Finanz den Ton angibt. Es ist das ein Neo-Feudalismus, der sich hinter einem Panzer der Komplexität versteckt, und zu dem es angeblich keine Alternative gibt.

Diesen Panzer durchbricht man mit einem Weltbild, das sich auf Überschaubarkeit und die Kooperation der Zivilgesellschaft stützt, und das dem Resilienz-Denken folgt. In Weiterentwicklung der Ideen Leopold Kohrs, E.F. Schumachers, Martin Nowaks und Charles Eisensteins entwirft der Autor eine solche Sicht. So zeigt seine „Drei-Schritt-Methode“, wo jeweils das Menschliche Maß liegt; und wie mit strikter Regionalisierung sowie einer Reform der Geld- und Zinspolitik der Weg von alternativlosem Frust zu gelungenem Leben gelingen kann. Es ist das eine stille Revolution „von unten“, die – noch immer außerhalb medialer Aufmerksamkeit – schon weit fortgeschritten ist, und die nach vielen erfolgreichen Pilotprojekten nun vor dem Durchbruch steht. Man muss sich nur trauen, also Du, ich und unsere Nachbarn …

0.0 stars

This class focuses on how the housing and human service systems interact: how networks and social capital can build between elements of the two systems. It explores ways in which the differing world views, professional perspectives, and institutional needs of the two systems play out operationally. Part I establishes the nature of the action frames of these two systems. Part II applies these insights to particular vulnerable groups: “at risk” households in transitional housing, the chronically mentally ill, and the frail elderly.
