"Arbeit Macht Missbrauch" - Book premiere with Lena Marbacher. Hosted by Iris Gavric and Matthias Renger (in German)

On October 11, we celebrate the book premiere with Lena Marbacher on her book “Arbeit Macht Missbrauch”. The evening will be hosted by Iris Gavric and Matthias Renger, the successful duo behind the podcast “Couple-of”.

Abuse of power is not an isolated incident, but a problem for society as a whole. We are all involved in it. In her social critique, journalist and author Lena Marbacher explores the question of how we can change this.
Abuse of power has nothing to do with gender or a specific industry. More and more cases are coming to public attention from all areas of society - be it politics, gastronomy, start-ups, sport, theater, care, voluntary work, the police or academia. So far, they have only been discussed on a sector-specific basis and usually as individual cases. According to Lena Marbacher, however, the problem lies in the system of work and society. The conditions that enable abuse of power are almost always the same. A tolerant environment is one of them.
Lena Marbacher relates a number of cases to each other and explains the structures of power abuse. Her aim is to show how the conditions in society and organizations lead to abusive behaviour and how they can be changed.
