Selbst schuld!

"You are to blame for your misfortune!" is a rebuttal to the neoliberal mantra and a manifesto of critical thinking.

You are overwhelmed because you don't plan your time properly. You don't earn enough money because you don't work hard enough. You are responsible for the climate catastrophe because you don't dispose of yogurt cups correctly. In short: you are to blame for everything! This is the ideology of our time. It is propagated by politicians, economists, influencers, and even your own family. All societal conditions are ignored in this narrative. In 13 personal essays, the authors question how personal guilt has managed to invade all areas of life. Their book indulges in the luxury of doubting what seems self-evident. It is a manifesto of critical thinking for the present.
