Ein Insider entlarvt die neue Geld- und Politikkaste. Regierungen und Reiche profitieren von der Corona-Krise. Sie haben mehr Macht und Geld, predigen Moral, aber sie lösen die Krise nicht. Im Gegenteil: Corona stellt den sozialen Sprengsatz scharf, der die Spaltung der Gesellschaft durch Verschuldung, Ausgrenzung und Verteilungskonflikte um Impfstoff weiter vorantreibt. Hans-Chrisian Lange, Ex-Kanzleramtsberater und BMW-Manager, der 2016 mit SOCIAL PEACE die erste Band- und Leiharbeitergewerkschaft gründete, sagt den Macht- und Geldeliten in seinem Neuen Buch den Kampf an. Er fordert ein „Bündnis der Betrogenen“, eine Bewegung von unten, die mit neuen Werten, neuen öko-sozialen Zielen und einem neuen Gemeinsinn Demokratie, sozialen Frieden und Ökologie für eine nachhaltige Zukunft stärken. Das Buch erscheint am 12. Juli im Westend Verlag.

Nous sommes tous capables d’innover. Encore faut-il s’en convaincre et trouver la manière. Après avoir traité des "héros", Fred Colantonio sort son nouveau livre avec l'objectif de faire de nous toutes et tous des innovateurs. Si chaque jour nous évoluons, l’innovation est là, au coin de la rue. C’est l’histoire de l’humanité. Mais en entreprise, ça donne quoi? Comment ne pas couler? Comment développer de nouvelles idées? Comment voir la bonne idée au coin de la rue? Comment ne pas être un Kodak qui est passé à côté de Xerox et Polaroid ?En prenant de nombreux exemples, il nous prouve que l’innovateur unique et génial est un mythe. Et la presse aime nous mettre des Steve Jobs ou Elon Musk à la une. Pourtant, celui qui a eu l’idée, la concrétisée, a trouvé tous les développements et a réussi à la vendre… n’est jamais seul au monde. Il travaille avec d’autres, en réseau, en partenariat.Fred Colantonio est convaincu qu’une Dream Team performante de l’innovation est composée de 4 profils. Ensemble, ils peuvent faire une «valse de l’innovation». Mettez 4 personnes sur une île déserte, à un moment, il y en a un.e qui va se bouger et dire « Bon, on fait quoi? ». Dans une équipe, une personne doit arriver avec une idée. Pas spécialement l’idée du siècle. Mais au moins une idée. Et souvent, c’est une autre qui écoute et rebondit sur cette idée.Les 4 profils qu’il définit et qu’il pense qu’il faut combiner pour innover sont: Le créatif : celui qui a les idées et les communique intelligemment L’aventurier : celui qui oriente le créatif et lui demande d’affiner et qui part au front pour vendre l’idée. Ce sont souvent ici que se retrouvent les « entrepreneurs connus ». L’ingénieux : celui qui va trouver la façon de faire, la bonne technique. Il va résoudre le défi.Le sceptique : lui aussi a sa place. Sans être cynique, il met le doigt là où ça pourrait coincer. On en a discuté pendant une heure.

So hat der parlamentarische Justizstaatssekretär Christian Lange in einer heise online vorliegenden Antwort auf eine Anfrage des FDP-Innenexperten, Konstantin Kuhle, eingeräumt, dass viele Plattformen mit nutzergenerierten Inhalten angesichts des schärferen Haftungsregimes um den Einsatz von Upload-Filtern nicht herumkämen. Für Kuhle ist damit klar: Der vermeintliche Kompromiss in Artikel 13 ist keiner und die Bundesregierung zeige erneut, dass ihr in Bürgerrechtsfragen nicht zu trauen ist.

Christian Lange’s Paradise and Hell in Islamic Traditions (Cambridge University Press, 2015), which was recently awarded the British-Kuwaiti Friendship Society’s Book Prize, presents a rich, challenging, and meticulous account of how Muslims have conceptualized the spiritual world across the centuries. (Lange also edited a related volume with Brill, 2016, Locating Hell in Islamic Traditions.) With great perspicacity, the author explores Sunni and Shi’i views on his topic as well as Sufi understandings with attention to contrast and similarity amongst the schools of thought that he studies. In order to disrupt assumptions about popular conceptions, Professor Lange frequently employs the term “Otherworld” instead of perhaps more expected terms like afterlife. On this note, one of the arguments the author presents throughout the monograph, based on his extensive research, is that Islamic traditions have often articulated this Otherworld as something connected to the material world, even if it is also transcendent in important ways. Thus one of the books many strengths is its ability to present challenging paradoxes in ways that are accessible, while grounded in textual tradition. In addition to drawing upon numerous textual canons, including Quran and Hadith, Professor Lange also makes effective use of art as well modern data analysis in order to observe things like how many times a key word for Paradise and Hell (e.g., al-Janna or al-Nar) appears in various texts. And in order to complement his lucid yet erudite writing, the author includes tables and images to help guide the reader. The organization of the book, moreover, with its clear subsections and chapter themes, will prove helpful for educators and researchers looking to explore particular facets of the book’s topic, even if the arrangement of the book also allows for it to naturally build on its previous sections. This engaging book will likely interest scholars and teachers of classical Islamic thought, soteriology, textual hermeneutics, and art history among other areas. Elliott Bazzano is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Le Moyne College.
