Socially Sustainable Economic Degrowth
Leida Rijnhout, Thomas Schauer (Eds.)
The global economy has been growing for decades with a high speed, largely ignoring the warnings of "The Limits to Growth",
the first report to the Club of Rome by Donella Meadows, Dennis Meadows and Jorgen Randers in 1972. But in a limited system,
unlimited growth is impossible. It has to come to an end, the question is just when and how.

"Limits to Privatization"
Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker
The Report to the Club of Rome "Limits to Privatization" is the first thorough audit of privatizations from around the world. It outlines the
historical emergence of globalization and liberalization, and from analyses of over 50 case studies of best-
and worst-case experiences of privatization, it provides guidance for policy and action that will restore and
maintain the right balance between the powers and responsibilities of the state, the private sector and the
increasingly important role of civil society.

Equality and Diversity in the Information Age
Thomas Schauer, Franz Josef Radermacher
English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian and Farsi
The publication starts from the inequality world-wide and from the statistical "tricks" that are used
in order to hide the growing inequality. Then, the question is adressed, whether the new information technologies (IT)
are a suitable mean to reduce inequality and the book presents rather critical findings.
There seems to be an "IT for development" hype that ignores the needs and financial possibilities of people in developing countries.
