Cultural infarction
Klein is one of the four authors of the polemic Der Kulturinfarkt , published in 2012 , in which they propose the thesis that public funding for culture in Germany would produce "too much of everything and the same everywhere". In the long run, this would lead to a heart attack not only in cultural policy, but also in cultural institutions, since public demand did not grow in the same way. The book led to fierce, sometimes very polemical arguments that lasted for months.
