Vereinzelte Verweise auf westmitteleuropäische Länder, die USA oder Australien machen aber deutlich, dass die neoliberale Politik auch in diesen Ländern zu einer Verschärfung der Spaltungen zwischen verschiedenen Gruppen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt und zwischen diesen und den "Abgehängten" ohne Aussicht auf eine dauerhafte Integration in den Arbeitsmarkt geführt hat. Die Fragen nach der Nachhaltigkeit von Allianzen zwischen Gewerkschaften und sozialen Bewegungen, den politischen und...

While concentrating on the rise of modern capitalism, Weber’s seminal studies have little to say about the impact of religions on contemporary economic development. The paper comments about recent approaches to find an answer to the questions Weber left open.

Der Artikel untersucht kollektives Interessenhandeln in der (Klein-)Kinderbetreuung in Deutschland und Österreich. Mit der Polanyi’schen Figur der Doppelbewegung werden die Dynamiken der aktuellen Aushandlungen im Feld der Sorge und Sorgearbeit aufeinander bezogen und analytisch gefasst. Die Bewegung in Form einer (Quasi-)Vermarktlichung steht im Spannungsverhältnis zum ausgeprägten Berufsethos der ErzieherInnen, um das sie durch Proteste (Österreich) und Streiks (Deutschland) kämpfen.
