Die Selbstgerechten

Urban, diverse, cosmopolitan, individualistic - for many people today, the left is primarily a lifestyle issue. Political concepts for social cohesion fall by the wayside. Sahra Wagenknecht draws an alternative to a left-wing liberalism that imagines itself progressive but continues to divide society because it is only interested in its own milieu and ignores discrimination based on social origin. It develops a programme with which social politics can once again become capable of winning a majority. Together instead of in ever smaller minority groups.

"Sahra Wagenknecht's book is a challenge for everyone, regardless of whether they consider themselves more left-wing, liberal or conservative, to examine their own arguments, to correct their own convictions or even to retain them." Monika Maron, Die Welt

"Wagenknecht does not emotionalise, she argues; she does not create a mood, but analyses; she does not wallow in consternation, but is driven by insight." Adam Soboczynski, Die Zeit

"Rarely have I found a political analysis of the present more apt." Denis Scheck, ARD Druckfrisch.
