Die zunehmende Verbreitung pädagogischer Denk- und Handlungsmuster in gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Bereiche hinein öffnet aus einer modernitätstheoretischen Perspektive den Blick auf Formen des Lernens Erwachsener außerhalb traditioneller Bildungseinrichtungen. Cornelia Maier-Gutheil analysiert erstmalig das professionelle Handeln am Beispiel realer Interaktionen in Existenzgründungsberatungen als modernem Lernort. Sie rekonstruiert anhand von Tonbandaufnahmen auf der Ebene der Performanz die spezifischen Aktivitäten von PädagogInnen und Nicht-PädagogInnen, die sich zwischen Modi pädagogischer Professionalität der Erziehung, Bildung und Beratung bewegen. Durch die Bestimmung von Paradoxien und Fehlerquellen zeigt die Autorin darüber hinaus auf, wie die widersprüchliche Grundstruktur der Existenzgründungsberatung das Handeln der professionellen Akteure in seiner Komplexität und Ambivalenz beeinflusst.

Summary

Economists have often paid visits to the field of criminology, examining the rational logic of offending. This book returns the visit, examining how the logic of economics may lead to harmful behaviour. This is an excursion into several schools of economic thought and an analysis of the social harm caused by homo oeconomicus.
