Nutzen statt Besitzen

In 1995, Michael Erlhoff formulated a beautiful vision in Nutzen statt Besitzen (Use Instead of Ownership) that anticipated many later debates. What was intended as an alternative to the logic of ownership is now more relevant than ever considering global crises; however, questions and problems that were hardly considered at the time are also emerging. The new edition, supplemented with 20 new essays, reopens the topic and continues to think boldly and speculatively. The diversity of the contributions corresponds to the open and "undisciplined" self-image of BIRD. Even after 30 years, Erlhoff‘s plea remains a groundbreaking impetus-to reflect on what may lie ahead and how we want to live.
