Proudly, he hands it to his superior – and the text disappears into a filing cabinet. Willy Brandt feared that in view of the possibility of a grand coalition, the memorandum held too much explosive potential. But the two soon start implementing Bahr’s concept...

On the Path to a Different Modernity
The increasingly number of crises in rapid succession has a somewhat eschatological quality. We have known for a long time that our non-sustainable model is no longer tenable. Yet many climate activists and sustainability researchers insist that a socio-ecological transformation can still prevent the worst.
This promise, Ingolfur Blühdorn argues, fails to recognise the reality...
