Ramona Wuttig zeigt in diesem Debattenhörbuch eindrücklich: Sozialer Aufstieg gelingt in Deutschland oft trotz – und nicht wegen – der bestehenden Strukturen.

Para explicar essa teoria, o filósofo grego formulou a “alegoria da caverna”, que revolucionou para sempre a nossa forma de interpretar a realidade.
