In 1962, Nobel laureate William Faulkner published his last book, 'The Reivers.' It is on the surface an old-fashioned picaresque novel. But whoever reads it automatically asks: which moral principles would I be willing to surrender in order to make money?

Money is indispensable in our daily lives. We use it to buy the first bread roll in the morning and late in the evening to quickly order a jumper in the online shop. But what is money, really, and how does it shape our relationships?

Charles Darwin's theories on evolution laid the foundations for our world view today. Through his hypothesis that nature itself exercises a natural selection and thus creates new species, any intervention by God became superfluous. For us this has long since ceased to be a scandal. In Darwin's time, however, it transformed the view of the world.

A young noblewoman breaks with her family to seek the freedom of an artist's life in the city. Having escaped the shackles of her origins, she soon finds herself subordinated to a new power: that of money. The story of a dependency.

Alfred Russel Wallace published a book in 1869 about his journey to Indonesia. It became an international bestseller that still today bears witness to how Wallace developed his theses on evolution independently of Darwin. He informed Darwin of his theory as early as 1857. Today there are people who therefore claim Darwin stole his fame from his unknown colleague. Can this be true?
