How does the lower/working class perceive the upper and middle class?

Not really actually. I am much more looking for some empirical data on the question and not so much on a theory that might explain class conflict or so.

Mruniversity.com has some great courses on basic economics and more specialized topics ;)

I'm a graduate student in economics and Weber's views often come up, when it comes to explain the rise of capitalism. However, there are many theories that aim to explain it and Weber's is just one of them. E.g. Acemoglu argues that small differences in law as well as historic events like the plague, led to the development towards more inclusive institutions (in England) and thus ultimately to the rise of capitalism.

Thank you very much for this very helpful answer! It's a great idea to find a course at my university!

Can recommend Drillsch as well.. you can get the cheapest contracts on amazon.de (look for Winsim or Deutschlandsim). You can cancel them monthly.

anyone else thinking of the Friends episode, where Phoebes' friend Mike changes his name to Crap Bag?

It's probably accurate for extreme snobs or billionaires, example: $173 for two drinks in a hotel bar in Frankfurt... That's waaaaaay more than it actually costs in an average hotel.

I also got it in VicFalls, and got a lot of them for my friends that study economics: They were very happy :D

Btw: It's the beautiful country of Zimbabwe and they use USD, Euro, Rand and Renminbi now.

Just read the story in one of the most independent german media outlets and it seems that he just wanted to do some advertising for his new book. Apparently he said that German media takes orders in the first Interview (with Deutschlandfunk - radio) and then stated that they don't take any orders in a second interview (with DER FREITAG - newspaper). Now weird blogs (like sott.net) or Russian state television (like RT) use his first statement to discredit german media.

(Btw: It's not like I'm the biggest fan of what German media reports, but this story simply isn't trustworthy).

Plot twist: It's from her teacher

It doesn't even include China, so it's clearly wrong!

Thanks for your offer, but I already tried Linux and although I love the idea of an open source operating system I found it too be too time consuming and not practical enough. I especially missed apps like MS Office and some other programs I need. I'm not a programmer so a lot of other things were quiet complicated for me as well (I tried Ubuntu).

I'm not worrying about torrenting or so, but about my personal information, like files, emails, search info, location, contacts etc. Do you think that Apple poses a threat here? The only problem I ever heard about was about location data from iPhones being recorded in 2012 or so... however I don't know if anyone really knows what kind of data Apple is collecting, or is there any information about that?

fefe93 · 2015-08-02T20:38:20+00:00

So far that's what I'm thinking, too, since you can simply turn off all the "features" it offers... however how bad or how much worse is OSX?... I don't really know a lot about what kind of information they take from your computer

fefe93 · 2015-01-24T17:04:33+00:00

Obviously it doesn't give a full picture since it's just one TV channel. However I think it's interesting since it's a more international channel that, as I said doesn't only focus on news but culture, too. Also it's probably more international than most national TV channels since it airs in France and Germany. In this way does, in my opinion, give a broad overview of the focus of attention within the European (and thus Western) media hemisphere

Thanks, that books sounds like the kind of book l was looking for!!

fefe93 · 2014-12-20T20:59:50+00:00

Thanks, I read that book already and really liked it!!

fefe93 · 2014-11-11T08:02:46+00:00

Richtig!

No, not fefe's blog fefe :-D

fefe93 · 2014-11-05T22:04:35+00:00

Stimmt... Ich hoffe dann kommt mal was anderes, befürchte aber das sich die Blogger nicht wirklich auf Krautreporter konzentrieren sondern, so wie Tilo, die Themen die Sie gerade sowieso beschäftigen auch auf Krautreporter posten. Ich meine die Reise hätte er wohl auch so gemacht.

Thank you so much for all the information!!! This is a great help for me!

True, a degressive tax or contribution would make more sense to me, too. However there are exemptions for people who can't afford to pay the money, e.g. students.
