Harald Parigger - Fugger und der Duft des Goldes

story well told

This book from the series Arena Library of Knowledge - Living History some aspects of the Renaissance, the transformation of the Middle Ages to modern times treated . This takes Harald Parigger out the perhaps most prominent businessman of German-speaking Jakob Fugger .

The book is by a change of narrative and presentation of facts. Cleanly separate the author changes between the report of John, a farmer in the Dienst Jakob Fuggers tritt und der Darstellung der geschichtlichen Tatsachen über dessen Zeit und die Umwälzungen die sich auftaten.

Auf diese Art schafft es Parigger sehr gut Geschichte lebhaft und eindringlich zu erzählen. Das Buch lässt einfach keine Längen zu, wie es mancher vielleicht von einem Sachbuch über Geschichte vermuten würde. Andererseits muss man ganz klar auch den Umfang verstehen um seine Kaufentscheidung treffen zu können. Das Buch vermittelt Basiswissen aber nicht mehr. Gerade jener Teil den man als Mindeststandard der Allgemeinbildung ansehen kann wird vom Autor aufgegriffen. Nimmt man die entsprechenden Wikipedia-Artikel ( Jakob Fugger , Renaissance , Frühkapitalismus , Martin Luther, etc. ) ago, so there is already much more information available.

But who now, instead of the dry facts of a dictionary to a rather simple representation and does not claim to have found a comprehensive description of historical facts in this case is repealed determined well. Even if the series is designed for young people and can be well used really well as a book in addition to the curriculum, we can confidently say that it is looking for all those who have an easy introduction to the subject suitable.

The book is what it is. There is no detailed discussion of the developments of the Renaissance, simply did not have too much Background information that is shown partially simplified. It is also not a historical novel by the brilliant narrative style will invite to read. It is simply a book that is aimed at the reader who wants to be informed in brief of the essential facts of the time. This is the declared aim of this series and has achieved this objective, the book excellent. If one can blame the book a mistake, probably just that the subtitle is badly chosen, because the report about the development of early capitalism is but one of many topics touched briefly.

Schäuble wird immer unerträglicher

The Future Zone reported under the Title criticized Schäuble Federal Constitutional Court that the German Federal Interior Minister rails against the Constitutional Court, because this indicates that he constantly expands his plans to restrict the fundamental rights and that this was unconstitutional.

called on the German well now nothing more than that he has finally lost touch with reality. As much as I believe that in Germany are mostly really capable people into politics - in contrast to Austria, where skilled people have no chance in politics - so much I think you have used with a mentally ill person Schäuble who tries to overthrow the democracy and Deutschland in eine Richtung zu bringen, von der die DDR-Führung geträumt hat.

Man muss sich das mal ganz genau vor Augen halte, was dieser Mensch hier sagt. Er meint ernsthaft es sei nicht Aufgabe darüber zu wachen, ob sich die Legislative an die Grundrechte hält. Was bitte schön sonst ist die Aufgabe eines Verfassungsgerichtshofes? Aber freilich im Kopf eines Paranoiden der die Gewaltentrennung als eines der Fundamente der Demokratie nicht anerkennen möchte, sieht das bestimmt anders aus. Da wäre ihm wohl lieber, er würde den Gerichten sagen wie sie zu handeln haben. Also alle Macht in einer Hand vereinen, so sehen die Phantasien von kranken Diktatoren aus, aber nicht jene von echten Demokraten.

Mich surprising that the otherwise intelligent Chancellor still holds in this man as a politician. has passed for a country that has twice through such trauma, it should be the prime duty, is embodied by those policy objectives which Schäuble away.

Ein absolutes Must-Read

He shows, among other things, that the efforts of the (fundamental) to abolish rights is part of the strategy of the copyright industry is. He is getting to the point that have the venal purchase one recognize added value can be (and not as a price reduction because copy protection, copyright notice at the beginning of a DVD, etc)

An important document has been preserved for all to a little more critical spirit.
