...edge of bankruptcy, the ancient Hapsburg capital was still the political and financial nerve center of the Balkans. As Europe slid into the chaos of depression and approaching war, the Viennese reveled in the musicmaking of Richard Strauss, Lotte Lehman and Bruno Walter; they entrusted their psyches to Sigmund Freud and his rivals, and indefatigably dissected Stefan Zweig's novels or Joseph Schumpeter's economics in the city's celebrated cafés, fueling the endless talkfest with the best beer and coffee in the world...

Freud and Erikson have been very popular, though several of the tutorials prefer to discuss some of the questions that the state-law-required high school communism course never quite got around to covering. Still other groups read plays...
