...more recent mistake was to invest $100 million in a new rolling mill that exceeds Salzgitter's steel capacity. Thus the company has to purchase semifinished steel from the Ruhr to use the mill economically. As Germany's largest producer of iron ore and ships, fourth largest coal producer, and seventh largest steelmaker, Salzgitter is in just about every problem industry in Germany. "The only thing we are missing to complete the whole scale of weak industries would be a textile plant," says Wolfram Langer, 51, State Secretary for the Treasury and new chairman of Salzgitter...
Still Trying. So far, the program includes seeking out partners for Salzgitter's coal, steel and iron-ore production in the private sector. Two new oxygen steel converters are to be built at a cost of $9,000,000 each to restore a balance between steel and rolling-mill capacities. The merger of Salzgitter's shipyards, Howaldtswerke of Kiel and Hamburg, with Deutsche Werft, a private shipbuilder, into a vast enterprise with combined sales of $200 million will take place Jan. 1. Büssing will cut its labor force by 2,000, and has been ordered...

The book is an injunction to examine all social systems, ours included, in terms of such costs with an eye toward reducing them. It is an effort, in John Stuart Mill's slightly melodramatic phrase, to abolish 'the slavery of antecedent circumstances...
...Luke is no run-of-the-mill Christ figure. He is above all a rebel and his deification is reserved for the finale. He is far more Marlon Brando than Billy Budd. He tries to escape from camp twice and is brutally punished. Beaten into submission, he tells the guards, "I got my mind right. Don't hit me anymore." But he gets away again and is eventually trapped in a church, where with cops and rifles all around, he calmly sticks his head out a window and gets it blown...
