For the first time, Boris von Heesen compiles step by step how high the price is that we all pay for toxic male behavior: They cost this country over 63 billion euros every year - at least.
Violence, accidents, addiction, discrimination, hate speech and extremism - men dominate the statistics of the abyss: they cause twice as many traffic accidents, commit by far the most crimes and therefore also occupy 94% of places in German prisons. 75 percent of alcohol-related deaths each year are male and more than 80 percent of domestic violence is perpetrated by men.
These figures not only represent pain and grief - they also cause immense costs. Boris von Heesen explains the causes of the costs and shows ways in which we can counter this dramatic imbalance: by creating a society in which all genders can develop their potential free from patriarchal clichés and entrenched role models. A discussion with the author will follow.
Boris von Heesen is an economist and founder of one of the first German online market research institutes. Today he works as a men's counselor and managing director of a youth welfare organization. He has been working on the topic of critical masculinity for many years and has already published two successful books on the subject.
