Nonetheless, Schourek had come up huge in his moment of truth, and I am thrilled to see that he is still in playing shape seven years later...
...truth, there is some good news in Germany, but to unearth it, you have to dig deeper. No matter which coalition takes power in Berlin, a more interesting drama is unfolding in the realm below?in the economy, or the "substructure" of capitalist society, as Karl Marx called it.
