Global Marshall Plan Initiative -
Newsletter 09/2005
In his book “Globale Maßlosigkeit – der (un)aufhaltsame Untergang des
Weltmittelstands” ("Global Excess" - this book will soon be published in
English) the entrepreneur and author Huschmand Sabet, who was actively involved
in the trade of oriental carpets for more than 50 years, takes the reader on a
revealing tour of a world shaped by globalization. The unacceptable situation of
the middle class is in the centre of focus. Mr. Sabet briefly outlines the basic
procedures and trends as well as the side effects and reciprocity in a coherent
way and in a universally comprehensible language.
If you are interested

When Katja Prante and Hanno Andersen were celebrating their wedding, they
did not ask their guests for presents. Instead they suggested to make a donation
to the Global Marshall Plan Initiative. More than € 1000 were collected. We
thank Ms. Prante and Mr. Andersen for this generous act of
support.
The preparations for the book "A European Hope" are under way. So far, 26

A letter to the editor is a simple but effective way to raise awareness for
the issues of the Global Marshall Plan Initiative. In the past weeks, a couple
of letters were published (in German).
