Going for Broke: The Chrysler Story av Michael Moritz
This book came out in 1981, though many of the issues it discusses resonate even today, in 2017. There is an extended discussion in chapter 7 of the effect of environmental regulations, and how politically-driven decisions based on sketchy science had negative impacts on the car companies. Much of the last part of the book deals with the political wrangling surrounding the 1979-1980 bailout by the federal government, which would have echoes in the 2009 bailout of General Motors. So, in essence, while this is a historical document, much of what is related still has relevance. A good read.… (mer)
Die bulgarische Mafia, der israelische Geheimdienst Mossad, ein Heilpraktiker der das Wetter machen kann und deshalb das erste von mehreren Mordopfern abgibt. All das passiert am Kaiserstuhl, in Freiburg und vor allem in Bötzingen. Nicht immer schlüssig, aber flott erzählt mit treffenden Erkenntissen zur Kaiserstühler Mentalität.
