His life work: a half-century struggle from thesis to thesis on every possible front against the traditional directions and hegemonic paradigms of social sciences.

For about two decades there is little difference between the social democratic parties and the social liberals in the decisive questions of economy and social politics. Therefore it can be internationally important that in Germany a new political formation, the Linkspartei came to the fore. This significant experiment led by the experienced and charismatic politicians, Gregor Gysi and Oskar Lafontaine can re-arrange the political fragmentation in Germany.

After the change of regime, the political elite started a new division of land by ignoring any domestic and international trend. The surpassed alternative of the "Hungarian farmer" promised and promises no prospects for the country and the villages. Unfortunately, it is not the inventors who have to pay for this Don Quijotic idea.
