The party is thrown at a time when the Austrian Credit Institute is on the brink of bankruptcy, an event which will trigger the second major world economic recession. The scene presents an ensemble of figures whose talk includes discussion of Jeremy Bentham\u0026rsquo;s Fabric of Felicity a utilitarian theory of happiness. Behind them two cloakroom attendants instigate a militant investigation into the consequences of this bankruptcy, one of which is the impact it will have on European strategies of German capital and the establishment of the International Monetary Fund and the expansion of the market economy model.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Greatest Happiness Principle Party\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;ensceneert een fictief feest georganiseerd door de Oostenrijkse Kredietbank in 1931.
