Shouldn't it be "Walter" instead of "Wallis" Annenberger? --VentrueCapital

I deleted the paragraph relating to Richard Albrecht in the theory section because it was poorly written and does not belong here. -- Felix

this man writes the weirdest sentences ever in the history and some of the chapters in his books are full of hot air and repetition. it takes half an hour to read and comprehend every single page. here is an example of one of his sentences: "The technological and managerial transformation of labor, and of production relationships, in and around the emerging network enterprise is the main lever by which the informational paradigm and the process of globalization affect society at large." the rise of the network society, blackwell publishers, 1998, pg: 201


Hi why did you wipe out the soft critical remark of Dr Albrecht ? P.

Hi - sorry dear, you may be a happy guy ("Felix";-)) - but the introductory chp. Dr Castell publ. within the 1st of his 3-vol.es "op.magn." is in fact poorly written - either hot air or cloudy issue. Moreover, any social scientist looking for a good red herring ("diagnosis of our time": Carl Mannheim) will not be able to grasp what this sociological writer wants to express ... his language expresses his confused thinking ... y.s., BeeJay
