Schallaburg 2016 | The 70s # 2019

The 1970s were a decade of social upheaval. "Self-determination instead of heteronomy!" "Work, education and prosperity for all!" Are the claims of those days in times of Fukushima, the Occupy and global migration movements more topical than ever?

The '70s were turbulent times: wars from Nicaragua to Vietnam, the vote against the Zwentendorf nuclear power plant, citizens' initiatives … the people stirred, something moved. Free textbooks, the 40-hour workweek, legal abortion up to the first trimester – all of these were hard-won achievements of the 1970s. What was new? What continued?
