Mord in vollen Zügen - die etwas andere Reiselektüre. 'Die Bahn macht mobil' und die Bahn ist ein nicht mehr wegzudenkendes Fortbewegungsmittel. Doch vielen Bahnfahrern mag schon mal ein mörderischer Gedanke während der Fahrt gekommen sein. Und zwar nicht nur, weil 'außergewöhnlich hohes Betriebsaufkommen' für Verspätung sorgt, weil die Klimaanlage ausfällt oder ein Schaffner seinen ganzen Charme auspackt. Auch Mitreisende wie grölende Fußballfans, pathologische Besserwisser oder picknickende Großfamilien sorgen für Verdruss. Und was für Gedanken wohl die Bahnangestellten hegen, die sich tagtäglich mit uns Kunden auseinandersetzen müssen? Um dies herauszufinden, haben sich fÃ...

Taking Socialism Seriously raises essential questions about what socialism is and how socialists can reach it by addressing a long list of potential quandaries. The contributions compiled by Anatole Anton and Richard Schmitt describe how socialism differs from a reformed and more humane form of capitalism. Various chapters discuss suitable forms of love and family in a socialist society and economic arrangements within a socialist system. They also break important new paths by calling for significant social change, examining detailed questions that have previously been neglected and setting a new direction for radical theorists. Critics are often convinced that there is no alternative and therefore are content to reform capitalism. This book affirms that another world is possible.
This book examines the controversial younger generation of poets who were 'born into' the established socialist state of the German Democratic Republic. Introducing an extraordinary decade of GDR poetry, it focuses on the ways in which this experience is translated into the metaphorical and linguistic structures of their texts, and the ways in which they set about breaking the literary and political boundaries which were imposed upon them, radicalizing notions of the subject, of history, of language, of the poetic enterprise itself. The volume also assesses what will remain - after the fall of the Wall, and the revelations of the 'Stasi' files - of this radical poetic project. This unique study examines the poetry of some fifty writers from both the official and the underground publishing scenes, offering them up as a case-study in the vexed negotiations between aesthetics, ethics, and politics, and as a contribution to the rewriting of German literary history after 1945.
What do we want from economic growth? What sort of a society are we aiming for? In everyday economics, there is no such thing as enough, or too much, growth. Yet in the world’s most developed countries, growth has already brought unrivalled prosperity: we have ‘arrived’. More than that, through debt, inequality, climate change and fractured politics, the fruits of growth may rot before everyone has a chance to enjoy them. It’s high time to ask where progress is taking us, and are we nearly there yet? In fact, Trebeck and Williams claim in this ground-breaking book, the challenge is now to make ourselves at home with this wealth, to ensure, in the interests of equality, that everyone is included. They explore the possibility of ‘Arrival’, urging us to move from enlarging the economy to improving it, and the benefits this would bring for all.
