đ Stefan Fuchs (Wissenschaftsjournalist) im GesprĂ€ch mit Claus Offe (1940-2025). Claus Offe galt als herausragender Vertreter der undogmatischen Linken. Der Philosoph und Soziologe gehörte zur spĂ€ten Frankfurter Schule gemeinsam mit JĂŒrgen Habermas. Er vertrat kritische Thesen gegenĂŒber der permanenten Rationalisierung von Arbeit, dem Diktum neoliberaler Profitmaximierung und dem börsengetriebenen Finanzkapitalismus. Dagegen fordert er ein "bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen". Das GesprĂ€ch wurde 2008 aufgezeichnet.
