Ein fundiertes Plädoyer für eine Gesellschaft, die der Verfügbarkeit der Welt Grenzen setzt Der Soziologie-Bestseller als Hörbuch! Das zentrale Bestreben der Moderne gilt der Vergrößerung der eigenen Reichweite, des Zugriffs auf die Welt: Diese verfügbare Welt ist jedoch, so Hartmut Rosas brisante These, eine verstummte, mit ihr gibt es keinen Dialog mehr. Gegen diese fortschreitende Entfremdung zwischen Mensch und Welt setzt Rosa die "Resonanz", als klingende, unberechenbare Beziehung mit einer nicht-verfügbaren Welt.

Why are wages stagnant and wealth inequality increasing? One factor has inexplicably been left out: who owns the companies that drive the economy. Ownership gives people a claim to the fruits of free enterprise. Employee ownership gives workers—the people who have a stake in the company—a fair chance to benefit from their labors. In three simple parts, Corey Rosen and John Case create a powerful argument for why employee ownership is the answer to capitalism’s crisis and how to implement it.
