Remove Ford Focus Cigarette Lighter

against the Woz (and the NZZ)

to "We must find alternatives to neoliberal entrepreneurial capitalism" ( http://www.woz.ch/artikel/newsletter/17201.html ):

the good thing about the "left" are the analysis. How true, too true to all! But with the past, the establishment, the system, the analytical psych "father" only to be expected, is only half the solution. And half the solutions are often worse than none. What for out solutions? It is given to build time, not to destroy. Revolutions bring only more misery.

I think the problem lies in the (liberal) financial capitalism, in fact, have to "alternatives" be found. Part of the solution is not the complete dismantling of any structure, but a return to the unjustly decried capitalist entrepreneurs. Namely those in which the contractor assumes responsibility and (if necessary with a certain dose of paternalism) can take the staff with responsibility in this location - usually human relations. Then they are all responsible - each according to his power - for a sustainable economy that is in the interest of all. In this sense, the initial quote to be completed.

what "neoliberalism" is concerned, was and is a purely ideological slogan and correspondingly difficult to distinguish. I am working on the assumption that "liberal" values are approximately as follows: total individualism, consumerism is lucky, the market is always right. The problem is that some of these values is half a turn. They can not be thrown overboard, or we have the opposite effect: the total collectivism to consume anything and a dictatorship against the people. The problem of the European left (for example) is still haunting Schlingensief relation to the "socialism", which simply involves only exact opposite extreme. As long as the two fronts to keep each other in check results in about a workable compromise. Bad is when one or the other to win the upper hand (usually done by unholy alliances, eg SP and SVP against moderate circles).

is better to have a reflection on human values, as expressed for example in the Renaissance and Enlightenment. (Responsible autonomy of the individual, moderation, self-knowledge, etc.). Values can not be imposed from above or from political parties. Therefore, I believe that healthy change can be achieved only through a profound social change in attitude from the bottom, especially spiritual Article

The local philanthropists would have to unleashing such forces to desperately overdue undead called Kulturkampf overcome at last, that the antagonism between tradition and progress overcome - the latter so they would unite and combine the two. Specifically, this means that new one is created, all without displacing old - to kill without the "father" (as in the rest of the "neoliberal" or similar types of anarcho-libertarian secretly want to). The main problem is the need to stoop to this kind of intellectual Omphalisten to the level of real-world economic agents. The impact of these left and right - in the sense of the quote - would be "alternative" to the current incredible hubris of much larger and more credible. You would hope with the energy of the strength of a safe stand united.
