Die Übertragung von unternehmerischen und privaten Vermögen auf die nachfolgende Generation stellt für die Beteiligten sowie für die Berater eine große Herausforderung dar: Nationale und internationale Rechts- und Steuerordnungen sowie nicht selten auch persönliche Vorstellungen und Wünsche der beteiligten Generationen müssen adäquat berücksichtigt und in der Vermögensnachfolge in Übereinstimmung gebracht werden.

The path-breaking history of modern liberalism told through the pages of one of its most zealous supporters In this landmark book, Alexander Zevin looks at the development of modern liberalism by examining the long history of the Economist newspaper, which, since 1843, has been the most tireless—and internationally influential—champion of the liberal cause anywhere in the world. But what exactly is liberalism, and how has its message evolved? Liberalism at Large examines a political ideology on the move as it confronts the challenges that classical doctrine left unresolved: the rise of democracy, the expansion of empire, the ascendancy of high finance. Contact with such momentous forces ...
Undoubtedly the best-selling author of his day and well loved by readers in succeeding generations, Charles Dickens was not always a favorite among critics. Celebrated for his novels advocating social reform, for half a century after his death he was ridiculed by those academics who condescended to write about him. Only the faithful band of devotees who called themselves Dickensians kept alive an interest in his work. Then, during the Second World War, he was resurrected by critics, and was soon being hailed as the foremost writer of his age, a literary genius alongside Shakespeare and Milton. More recently, Dickens has again been taken to task by a new breed of literary theorists who fault ...
English summary: The right of the purchaser to reduce the purchase price in the event of a deficiency in the purchased goods plays a central role in many cases. However, what is the legal position of the seller who does not want to sell at a reduced purchase price? In his work, Ulrich Korth explores this question. German description: In der Regierungsbegrundung zum Schuldrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz heisst es zum Minderungsrecht des Kaufers gemass 441 Abs. 1 S. 1 BGB knapp: Hat die gelieferte Sache einen Mangel, so kann der Kaufer ein Interesse daran haben, sie zu behalten und den Kaufpreis herabzusetzen. Diesem Ziel dient die Minderung. Was den Rechtskreis des Verkaufers anbelangt, so wirft die Minderungsbefugnis des Kaufers aber die Frage auf, ob der Verkaufer die Abgabe der Kaufsache zu einem geminderten Kaufpreis stets akzeptieren muss. Ulrich Korth ruckt diese Frage in das Zentrum seiner Arbeit uber die Minderung beim Kauf. Dabei sucht er, das Minderungsrecht des Kaufers von einem haftungsrechtlichen Verstandnis zu befreien und den Schutz des vertraglichen Rechtskreises des Verkaufers herauszuarbeiten.
English summary: Retention is intended as a means of decreasing the misdirected incentives in securitizations, which were identified as one of the causes of the international financial crisis in 2007.

German description: Fehlanreize bei Kreditverbriefungen sind als ein Ausloser der internationalen Finanzkrise im Jahr 2007 identifiziert worden.
