About this book

The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the Twenty-First Century by Strenger, C.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780230113756.

This book shows how, after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Gospel of the free market became the only world-religion of universal validity. The belief that all value needs to be quantifiable was extended to human beings, whose value became dependent on their rating on the various ranking-scales in the global infotainment system.
