Publications

Good Power Stories (2016)

In this little "encyclopedia of myths" Daniel Baumann and Stephan Hebel want to make it clear which intentions are hidden behind the euphemisms of political newspeak . Politicians speak "in a kind of Ikea language: every phrase is a prefabricated kit." The reader should learn to see through the codes of power in the "Lingua Blablativa" ( Niklas Luhmann ), which not only forms a veil of fog in front of the ideology, but also changes and shapes the conception of reality, like levers following Bourdieu , Greiffenhagen and Eppler . He quotes Nietzsche: "It is enough to create new names and estimates and probabilities in order to create new 'things' in the long run." Topics in the good-power stories include flexibility , demographic catastrophe , black zero , the socially weak , Reduction of ancillary wage costs and reduction of bureaucracy .
