Paperback / softback

Description

Pandemics — it seems that it had been the beginning of a new era, after a first shock wave a new normality commenced trying to, repress the complex challenges while living under a new Sword of Damocles. Origins and consequences of the virus had been frequently issued, but only little attention had been paid to structural problems of societies, making it difficult to cope with the exceptional situation.

The present book, focusing on the German polity and its structural weakness, analysis the situation in a historical perspective.

It is completed by an essayist globalist outlook on the pandemics. The provocative thesis is that the precarity of society is itself a kind of virus, in many ways as dangerous as the Corona virus.

The latter one showed the weak – and dangerous – points of the failure of the polity that need urgent and thorough political answers.
