Writing for the FAZ myself I can assure you, that there is no such thing as the FAZ. It is a multitude of oppinions, plenty of debates and highly moble frontlines. There are some arch-conservative editors and authors who would love to wake up one day and find the internet gone (mostly in the

Hi MP, it is not so difficult. There's capital, and its not homogenous. There are capitals of a different era and of a different kind - such as industrial, agro-business, and financial capital. There are different modes of production and social relations that go with it. It is not about 'for' or

Thanks Cornelia, and Florian for making the translation. I don't mind the piece but what misses here is a bit of self-reflection of a writer who has been inside the media realm his entire life, and who is unable to put his own 'offline romanticism' in the larger picture of the (German) history
