Our working model has failed. It’s time to get back to basics.
Based on the Latin word “radix” (root), Väth analyzes the systemic failings of “flexible capitalism” and the modern world of work in order to propose a “constructive radicalism”. This is not a book about “mindset”, but a guide to action for everyday working life.
Based on sound data, Markus Väth provides a visionary framework for a better working world. Whether you are a manager battling “organizational burnout” or an individual striving for professional fulfillment, this book is your guide to regaining relief, effectiveness and perspective.
In my monthly column, I look at work not as a field of optimization, but as an expression of a deeper systemic problem. My texts combine organizational criticism, psychology and social analysis and show why classic management logic sometimes reaches its limits. For me, the focus is therefore not on a simple solution, but on a change of perspective and personal reflection. Calmly argued and with a twinkle in the eye.
