Franz Vranitzky/Peter Pelinka

BACK TO RESPECT
Surviving in a chaotic world

Welcome and introductory words:
Rudolf Scholten
President of the Kreisky Forum

Franz Vranitzky
was Director General of Österreichische Länderbank and Deputy Director General of Creditanstalt-Bankverein. After moving into politics, he was Federal Minister of Finance (SPÖ) and Federal Chancellor from 1986 to 1997.
Peter Pelinka
was editor-in-chief of the »Arbeiterzeitung« and the magazines »News« and »Format« and is now a freelance journalist, presenter and media trainer.
Brigitte Ederer
was a member of the Management Board of Siemens AG and previously State Secretary for European Integration in the Austrian Federal Chancellery at the time when Austria was preparing to join the EU.

Politics and the media are losing credibility, democracy has been tarnished, good manners are deteriorating, family and church hardly offer any support and nobody really wants to believe that the future will be better. How did it get this far? And what comes next? Franz Vranitzky organises the chaos. Using examples from his life experience, he shows why we should return to the values of enlightenment such as rationality, tolerance, solidarity and respect right now, and what they bring to politics, public discourse and each individual.
