Of quota women and old white men
Put an end to prejudices in the world of work.
- Author: Annahita Esmailzadeh

- Pages: 240
- ISBN: 9783593517551
Old white men at the top of the company, unqualified quota women - many people are still confronted with these and similar prejudices in the world of work. However, Annahita Esmailzadeh vividly shows in her book that such clichés and role models not only harm individual careers, but also companies. As a woman from a migrant background who works in the tech industry, she knows the consequences of such stereotyping. However, her advice on how to combat prejudice unfortunately remains very vague. Nevertheless, an enlightening read.

After reading the book, one thing is crystal clear: the transport revolution begins in the mind. An enlightening book for anyone who wants to know what needs to be done for alternative mobility.

Limitarianism
Why wealth must be limited.
- Author: Ingrid Robeyns
- Publisher: S. Fischer Verlag, 2024
- Pages: 377
- ISBN: 9783103971620
Can you be "too rich"? Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk would probably disagree - but could they claim that they actually "need" their billions without blushing? For economist and philosopher Ingrid Robeyns, too much money in too few hands is a real problem, creating social tensions and dangerous power imbalances. This is why she came up with the concept of "limitarianism". It is about taxing the super-rich appropriately and avoiding extreme wealth. An exciting, highly topical philosophical approach.
