Lord, do not forgive them, for they know what they are doing!

The author decided to write this pamphlet to express his disappointment with Germany.
In particular, Germany's development over the last 20 years gives him cause for concern, frustration and, very often, anger.
On closer inspection of our country, especially from an international perspective, it is clear that there are significant signs of social decline, be it a lack of respect, dishonesty, insincerity, or a lack of commitment to anything or anyone, which is embodied by the so-called Merkel generation in particular.

‘What do my neighbours matter to me, as long as my life and my advancement are secure?’
Since 2005, under the governments of Angela Merkel and her successors, Germany has fallen into a deep sleep, and waking up from it will be very painful. The idiotic austerity measures at any price and the reduction of state services are based on no foundation and no reasonable economic knowledge. The so-called black zero in the budget does not exist in economic theory.

Germany's entire infrastructure, its moral state, its social constitution and its international reputation have suffered greatly. Intolerance, racism, hatred, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia have increased significantly. Politicians can no longer get this under control, and it is now up to us, society, to stand up and put a stop to these developments.

The future of our country and our children, our prosperity, our happiness and our position in the world depend on it.

Against this backdrop, this book puts its finger on the wounds of today's Germany. It adresses those who question themselves and society, a book against the hypocrisy and cowardice of German society and politics.

But this behaviour can also be found in a similar form in other Western societies.

Born in 1949, he grew up in France and graduated from an elite French university for industrial engineers. After moving to Germany, he studied economics, sociology, political science, philosophy and ethics. In the field of philosophy, he was strongly influenced by the philosophy and teachings of Zarathustra, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Rabelais, Michel de Montaigne, Baruch Spinoza, Thomas Aquinas, Ibn Khaldun, Niccolo Machiavelli, René Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Voltaire, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Gottfried W. Leibniz, Auguste Comte, Arthur Schopenhauer, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Karl Marx, Henri Bergson, Karl Popper, Karl Jaspers, and Erich Fromm. In the field of economics, he was strongly influenced by post-Keynesians and behavioural economists. He is highly critical of the teachings of Milton Friedman, the Chicago Boys, the Frederick School and Friedrich A. Hayek. His professional career first took him to an international organisation, where he worked for five years as a project controller for major water projects, mainly in Africa, and thanks to this, he was able to get to know a large number of countries and their leaders. He then worked for many years for a European organisation and several international consulting firms. He considers himself a critic of current globalisation and has been strongly committed to water management and economics issues since 1974. These experiences have given him a deep understanding of geopolitical issues and enabled him to assess current political developments, particularly in the context of economic interdependencies. Since his retirement, he has been living a secluded life in Bonn and working as a writer. In his publications, he focuses primarily on the pressing social, economic and political issues of our time, as well as water management. To date, he has published numerous works on politics and geopolitics, society and economics. Other key topics include health, identity, racism, the environment, migration, water management, Africa, demographic development and alternative economic systems such as anti-fragility economics. He has also published several short stories and fairy tales.
