NEW ORDER

Translated the highlighted writing means the following: “Capitalism standardises, destroys, kills”.

This building became a tourist attraction in Berlin, Kastanienallee, as it does not represent the inhabitants of the quarter of Prenzlauerberg any more.

Most of the people living in this area are wealthy, hip and come from all over the world - a quite interesting but in the end artificial society - there´s almost no link to the ideas of those who made this writing, as alternative living became a trademark. After the end of the cold war and entering a global market this writing certainly received a new meaning.

Asking me if we need capitalism I cannot deny a need for the protection of property - it would be hilarious to praise communism or socialism on the one hand and to add a copyright to my work on the other hand. But I also think that the capital has a social responsibility.

In times of the global financial crisis there are some interesting ideas being discussed in the press - form a global currency to the socialisation of whole industries.
But on the other hand this highly praised financial crisis still didn´t affect the consumer behaviour yet - people seem to ignore the whole development.

So, do we need a new order?

I´d love to read your opinion on this,


have a great weekend.
