The Battle for Control of the Brass and Instruments Business in the French Industrial Revolution narrates and analyzes the largest judicial battle in culture and industrial property in nineteenth century Europe, the echoes of which still ring today. The battle was about simple wind instruments made of brass and their related patents, not by opera - the musical genre that moved the most money and people at the time - or the revered and contentious high art. Music, in all its dimensions, had become a business. The nineteenth-century French industry of brasswinds shows how the strategic parameters of the Industrial Revolution and, essentially, the system that sustained them (capitalism), permea...

Die ärztliche Therapiefreiheit wird heute zunehmend durch rechtliche, wirtschaftliche und strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen eingeengt. Zuletzt hat die Gesundheitspolitik mit dem Vertragsarztrechtsänderungsgesetz und dem GKV-Wettbewerbsstärkungsgesetz dem ärztlichen Handeln neue Grenzen gesetzt. Die ärztliche Berufsausübung steht vor neuen großen Herausforderungen und tief greifenden Strukturveränderungen. Mit dem Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts werden Politik und Gesellschaft in Deutschland entscheiden müssen, ob sie die Krankenversorgung zukünftig in die Hände einer von staatlicher Steuerung und Zuteilung geprägten Medizin oder – wie bisher – in die Verantwortung der behandelnden Ã...
For many years, scholars struggled to write the history of the constitution and political structure of the Holy Roman Empire. This book argues that this was because the political and social order could not be understood without considering the rituals and symbols that held the Empire together. What determined the rules (and whether they were followed) depended on complex symbolic-ritual actions. By examining key moments in the political history of the Empire, the author shows that it was a vocabulary of symbols, not the actual written laws, that formed a political language indispensable in maintaining the common order.
English summary: Martin Otto has written the first scholarly biography of Erwin Jacobi. Jacobi, who was educated in ecclesiastical law, was not only one of the founders of modern labor law, he was also a respected teacher of constitutional law in the Weimar period and, together with Carl Schmitt, participated in the dispute on methodology.

The author looks into Jacob's private and public life and also investigates the network of the most significant political scandal in which Jacobi was involved (Prussia versus Reich, 1932). He ...
