Romano Hänni, Catalog: "Seventeen years after creating the first part, the second part of 'Typographic Notes' was produced in the years 2009/2010. Its content deals with topics such as justice, perception, reality, and mentatlities. "As a preamble, a part of Utopia written by Thomas More in the year 1516 is printed. In the text, the ruthless scheming of the rich is revealed. Today’s manager capitalism is the result of this ruthless scheming, an economy of self-enrichment. "The global exploitation of the people is carried out by private transcontinental companies of the industry, service, trade, and banking sectors. Profit is their religion, world domination their goal."
