How Dirk B. Learned to Love Capitalism

Including a guide to exploitation

  • One of Germany's best-known and most popular comedians
  • Turbulent, off-key story: From hypocritical loser to authentic capitalist

'Make capitalism great again!'

 The new book from Germany's most eloquent comedian and full-time do-gooder, Olaf Schubert. With skillful verbal acrobatics, the popular entertainer (the guy with the sleeveless pullover) describes our society, which is governed by the power of money. But instead of struggling senselessly against it, he has his hero Dirk B. toss all empathetic baggage elegantly overboard and try out the pleasures of capitalism. If you want to move up, you have to kick down? Correct! But you don't need to climb over corpses, you can simply walk around them!

A guidebook for all who want to make it all the way to the top. But also for those who are already on top and would like to stay there. In short, for anyone who can read.
