The Dutch and German Communist Left (1900–68)
The Dutch-German Communist Left, represented by the German KAPD-AAUD, the Dutch KAPN and the Bulgarian Communist Workers Party, separated from the Comintern (1921) on questions like electoralism, trade-unionism, united fronts, the one-party state and anti-proletarian violence. It attracted the ire of Lenin, who wrote his Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder against the Linkskommunismus, while Herman Gorter wrote a famous response in his pamphlet Reply to Lenin. The present volume provides the most substantial history to date of this tendency in the twentieth-century Communist movement. It covers how the Communist left, with the KAPD-AAU, denounced 'party communism' and 'state capitalism' in Russia; how the German left survived after 1933 in the shape of the Dutch GIK and Paul Mattick’s councils movement in the USA; and also how the Dutch Communistenbond Spartacus continued to fight after 1942 for the world power of the workers councils, as theorised by Pannekoek in his book Workers’ Councils (1946).

Het derivatendrama
Onder leiding van Erik Staal groeit Vestia, het voormalig Gemeentelijk Woningbedrijf Den Haag, in korte tijd uit tot de grootste woningcorporatie van Nederland. Omvangrijke herstructureringen, de bouw van complete Vinex-wijken, overnames van noodlijdende branchegenoten: niets gaat de zonnekoning van de corporatiewereld te ver. Zijn ster rijst tot ongekende hoogte. Eind 2011 komt aan dit sprookje abrupt een einde. Mede door fraude met ingewikkelde financiële producten (derivaten) raakt Vestia verzeild in een van de grootste speculatieschandalen ter wereld. Alleen dankzij een ingrijpende reddingsoperatie blijft het de volkshuisvester overeind. Waar is het smeergeld gebleven? Wie waren de mensen achter dit schandaal? En: wat heeft hen bewogen? Op basis van uitgebreide research en gesprekken met tientallen betrokkenen, onder wie enkele hoofdrolspelers, beschrijft journalist Jan Smit hoe en waarom een semi-overheidsorganisatie naar de rand van de afgrond werd gedreven.
