Introduction

can values and meanings be outsourced and, if so, to whom?

1-33

The past tense of meaning (lost and gained in historical translations)

34-58

Cases in point

59-76

The present tense of meaning (underground passages between hierarchies, the cunning of calculating reason and the return of utopian virtues)

77-172

Case in point

scaffolding for a critical turn in the sciences of management

173-185

The future tense of meaning (cultural revolutions, social transformations and media rituals)

186-212

Instead of conclusions

the revenge of populism and the transformation of angry mobs into mobilized alternative social networks

213-220
