Was ist ein Einbruch in eine Bank gegen die Gründung einer Bank?

Seven years of economic crisis. Seven years of reassuring rhetoric and slogans from politics, science, and business. It's high time for a new perspective on the upheavals that have pushed banks, stock markets, currencies, and societies to the brink since 2008. "What is a break-in at a bank compared to the founding of a bank?" shows that Bertolt Brecht's work offers such a perspective on the economic crisis. In six lessons, this compendium gathers literary, aphoristic, and journalistic texts by Brecht that, although created more than half a century ago, appear as analyses and commentaries on the economic turbulence of the present.
