Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2024‘Survival Capitalism’ and the Big Bang
Culture, contingency and capital in the making of the 1980s financial revolution
by Emma Barrett
This book about the Thatcher government and the City of London tells the compelling human story of the people and processes that made Britain's 1980s financial revolution. Fusing insider testimony with new archival discoveries, it examines high stakes and networked solutions, and uncovers new objectives that drove reforms. In so doing it demystifies a major shift in capitalism. This has implications for our understandings of government and capitalism, from the way we think about the origins of subsequent financial crises to today's growing inequalities. Survival Capitalism offers new insights into the last major restructuring of the City, disrupts myths surrounding the logics of the market, and pays attention to people and processes at a time when the City of London again faces major change as Britain seeks to find its place outside the European Union in the wake of Brexit.

May 2011Big Mäc
Geschichten
by Serhij Zhadan, Claudia Dathe
Spätestens seit dem Erfolg seiner "Hymne der demokratischen Jugend" hat sich Serhij Zhadan als originellste Gegenstimme zum poetischen Landvermesser Juri Andruchowytsch etabliert. In seiner sechsteiligen Erzählung "Big Mäc" kehrt er der Anarchie der postsowjetischen Umbruchzeit den Rücken und flaniert durch die Straßen alter Städte - Orte der Subkultur, Mitteleuropa entmythologisiert. Im »Berlin, das wir verloren haben« lauern Irrsinn und Einsamkeit hinter jeder Toreinfahrt. In Wien meditiert er über »Zehn Arten, John Lennon umzubringen«. Es zieht ihn nicht nur zu den hedonistischen Außenseitern, die unter kalten europäischen Himmeln herumwandern, sondern auch in die eigene Vergangenheit: eine Welt des Lachens und endlosen Fliegens »am Orangenhimmel, der sich über unserer Heimat ausspannte«.
