Ist #Teilzeit Luxus und muss weg - für "die Wirtschaft"? Die aktuelle Debatte um #Arbeitszeiten nimmt Realitäten nicht zur Kenntnis. Denn neben Erwerbsarbeit leisten vor allem Frauen viel (mehr) unbezahlte Carearbeit.

Was es bedeute, wurde Jason Stanley gefragt, wenn ein Faschismusforscher die USA verlässt? "Teilweise ist es letztlich, wie wenn man Deutschland 1932, '33, '34 verließ. Meine Großmutter verließ Berlin 1939 mit meinem Vater. Es ist also eine Familientradition."

Die #EU braucht eine starke Batterieindustrie, um unabhängiger von #China zu werden. Doch Ungarns rasanter Ausbau unter Orbán birgt Umweltrisiken und baut geopolitische Abhängigkeiten aus.

Auch diese Hervorhebung von Franziska Wiest freut mich sehr: Die Auseinandersetzung mit Erbe auch aus einer Armutsperspektive ist eine grosse Stärke des Buchs. Es wird deutlich, dass Erbordnungen genauso sehr eine Geschichte der Armut wie des Reichtums sind. #Armut #Reichtum #Erbe #Erbschaft

Meine Rezension zu J. Dinkel "Alles bleibt in der Familie" ist jetzt bei KZfSS zu lesen: Laut D. wurde das 19./20. Jhd. zum Zeitalter der Familie. Die „Gesellschaft der Singularitäten“ gilt nicht für Erbordnungen. Im Gegenteil setzt sich das "Familienprinzip" durch

Große Freude, dass die eigene Arbeit auch für Nachbarfächer interessant ist: Für die Soziologie bietet D. viele Anknüpfungspunkte, die Relation aus Staat, Wirtschaft u. Familie neu zu denken. Was er empirisch zeigt, bedarf einer weiteren theor. Auseinandersetzung.
