Christian-Felber-Portrait-3-1024x1024“Fabian Scheidlers book paints a uniquely complete picture of the historical roots of capitalism. It is a profound mirror for the Western world, which is talking so much about values, peace and democracy. For me, the book has a greater value than everything I learned about history at school.”
Christian Felber, founder of the „Economy for the Common Good“

Prof. Wolfgang Sachs, Wuppertal Institute / Club of Rome; author of „The Development Dictionary“
