Tears from Brabant
0€ 19,95This is a novel with many themes. It is about Brabant, a land that is presently half in the Netherlands and the other half in Belgium. It is also the story of a little Brabanter boy, born the year Adolf Hitler came to power. The boy wants a good life and that is not so easy because the Catholic Brabanters are kept down by the Calvinist Hollanders. Many other modern themes come by, such as the Second World War, the emancipation (of women but also of the Catholics), the pill and its effects, secularization, wealth. Our young hero goes to Canada where he can make his dream career come true. This is also a singular love story, although it all seems to end in disaster. He then returns to the Netherlands, divorced, impoverished, disillusioned to find a new love, then losing it again and finally turning to a new form of happiness in a world that has changed beyond recognition. For those not so familiar with Dutch history the book starts with a two page short introduction to the 1700 years of Brabant history.

The gap between high and low education
0€ 14,95The gap between high and low educated has a long history, since the Renaissance in the 16th century, and she still grows. She creates discrimination and prejudice, and is accompanied by a gap in income.
In the 20th century there appeared to be a rebirth of humanism, in the cultural revolution of the 1960’s, but that faded away when the ‘babyboomers’ joined the game of the established order.
The gap is fatal, not only for the low educated, but for society as a whole, including the high educated. Growth of understanding, knowledge and skill requires assimilation and accommodation, and the gap limits this. For a flou-rishing society, a connection between theory and practice is needed.

The great escape from the great reset
0€ 27,95Maurits v. Falkenreck provides a compelling analysis of society through his groundbreaking model, the Political Ecosystem, uncovering how power and influence intertwine in a world shaped by financial elites and supranational organizations such as the WEF, IMF, World Bank, NATO and United Nations. These agendas ripple through politics and industry, creating structures designed to manage society and address crises—though often contributing to their emergence as well. Media, education, and corporate forces act as channels that sustain and reinforce this carefully constructed reality. I would stress how power structures leverage the immense influence of spontaneous order. While societal cohesion is often perceived as something meticulously managed, it is equally driven by humanity’s innate tendency to self-organize into communities.
