Die Zukunft nach Corona – Nachrichten aus dem »Grand Hotel Abgrund«

Abstract

The description of the corona and postcorona society is more pessimistic than optimistic and the author outlines a more pessimistic view. Corona has shown the structural problems of our society, but there is no strong hope of structural changes – because the insistence of the fundamental structures: capitalism, consume, globalisation, digitalisation, personal narcissistic life-concepts and the increasing instability of close social relationship. Even so: change is necessary, also for the survival of the dominant social systems and therefore some reforms are possible within the actual social frame. For these reforms we need a widespread discussion and social consensus.
