Saracens is a term that originally referred to a in the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula who settled tribes. In the wake of the Islamic expansion was the term in Christian Europe as a collective term for the Muslim Nations, most often in fear embossed sense. The meaning has been since late antiquity, and then gradually expanded over the war with Muslim and Arab armies in Europe to the Islamic nations in general. In that wider sense the word since the time of the Crusades in the European vernacular languages was adopted. Particularly in France and Switzerland is still the common surname Sarrazin. Precursors of such names is in the Middle Ages, a widely documented name or nickname Saracenus, which in many cases due to a "Saracen" Origin of the carrier or to highlight a particularly dark skin or hair color was. If the name until the late Middle Ages came into use to reckon with the possibility that he was chosen in view of the possible significance of "Gypsy." Currently prominent example in Germany, Bundesbank board member and SPD politicians Thilo Sarrazin. (Source: Wikipedia )
Well, the modern Sarrazin zigeunert the time the newspapers and talk shows . And he provoked. Especially his old comrades. Or he pleased, especially friends from the NPD , which he probably never wanted to have.
Anyone who has read his book, and after all, seem to have already done some journalists, which is hardly surprising, since Thilo's has economy-ham of 464 pages € 22.90 finally have conquered all the current bestseller lists, rubbing their eyes in amazement at the contrast of a relative of economists, bore the publicly announced policy Provo-theses.
are now not all Thilo theses really new, nor are they reduced to the economic particularly radical or critical to the German state dilemma. The only problem with such a book is that it would normally sell little. For books, especially for classical economists ham of which there are thousands, few fans will find ready to spend € impressive eleven p.m. and after work evening in bed, read the four hundred sixty-four pages in pull-down eye lids really.
Why Thilo Sarrazin so as aggressively goes through ball, should be economically justified in fact. Less for Germany than for his own household budget. He has also done so manifest, as he admitted at Beckmann "I have no plans, but now I'm first going to increase the run" . In fact, the reasonable grounds. Who writes himself looking books, as bring in the little general. Since the author is charged on it even, because with a few hundred copies sold, with margins of two authors are the construction costs € never get to start. Whoever wants to earn the right to write the fiction and has sold millions of copies with Harry-rich spotters.
Unless one is deregistered political celebrity with a supply post in the Federal Bank board. Because then you can increase the support of such a book from a few hundred to a thousand times easily. Sarrazin Author margin should easily be 5 € per book. No media circus, he would sell 2000 copies of which may, with land after a certain period the minimum support even in the grab bag of a department store would. From its margin, he could then not even cover its own costs.
But now he has to sell the realistic prospect of several hundred thousand units. And now they expect times: bring him at least 200,000 copies € 1 million to your account, half a million copies already at least 2.5 million €, plus also all the talk shows, readings, etc. pp. Be honest, but that are better prospects than a little Riester pension or civil service pension? Especially since the latter anyway even worse, because you can throw him out after all not so simple. In any event, not the employer Bundesbank . And a party in a process of elimination of the SPD is hardly to be feared, especially since it's membership brings not much there anyway. Honor the contrary, because it guarantees some additional publicity, and so revenue. Who would, if he so skillfully with a targeted Verbalgepolter could reap thin profit not even be weak?
After the media have thus given the Moor, he has done his job and can go on. Focus, quoting the business of the rear rudder Thilo: "Sarrazin had earlier presented his book" Germany creates off "his controversial theories on Integrationsunwilligkeit Muslim immigrants and defended their alleged hereditary stupidity. After the announcement of the expulsion from the party process Sarrazin expressed his regret in writing about "confusion and misunderstanding" of. With his comments on the genetics of "no value judgments' is."
Na is then everything in order.
