At a time of increasing fragmentation, growing social tension and global forced migration, solidarity is more than ever an endangered social resource.

What is the Catholic Intellectual Tradition (CIT)? What can be its beneficial impact on life in all its aspects, on education, and on research at the beginning of the 21st century? In this collection, contributions written by scholars from Asia, Europe, North America, and South America show that the CIT is by no means a traditionalist reaction to a secular globalized world. Addressing contemporary issues - economical, social, managerial, educational, religious, philosophical, and theological - at a local or global level, they also draw on the Judeo-Christian heritage as it has been and is still preserved, transmitted, and developed in the Catholic Church. They show that the CIT is a powerful creative imagination that is able to make a life-fostering difference in today's world. (Series: Glaube und Ethos - Vol. 10)

Das Jahrbuch ORDO ist seit ber 50 Jahren ein Zentralort der wissenschaftlichen und politischen Diskussion aus dem Konzept der Marktwirtschaft und des Wettbewerbs heraus. Durch dieses Jahrbuch wurde der Begriff Ordoliberalismus zum festen Begriff.

The market and the mind are not sellable. The future is for sale, because we all live in a futuristic world (for e.g., share market, child future, gold recovery, green-collar jobs, society welfare, petroleum, natural resources, competitive market, etc. all these revolve around the future of making money and a better life). But presently, our future depends on duty, rule-based ethics and character-based ethics. So, post COVID-19, India’s future will be divided into two parts: investment which depends on rule-based ethics and character-based ethics which comes under brand creation, gold value and market potential.
The work investigates the impact of religiosity of women and men on their completed fertility in an international comparison considering a long time period. Sandra Hubert aims at uncovering all mechanisms through which religiosity and religious institutions can affect fertility. Hence, both the micro- and the macro-level of each country are explicitly integrated, and theoretically as well as empirically dealt with. The selection of differing countries rests upon the expectation that religiosity influences fertility decisions independently of the institutional context, social norms, state church-relations, and the national degree of religious vitality. These factors are intensively compared with each other at the country level. At the micro-level the impact of religiosity on fertility is tested by means of regressions and based on the Generations and Gender Survey. Results depend on gender, country, the diverse religious affiliations, and more.
This book presents a selection of articles with focus on the theoretical foundations of business ethics, and in particular on the philosophy of management and on human rights and business. This implies identifying and discussing conflicts as well as agreement with regard to the philosophical and other foundations of business and management. Despite the general interest in corporate social responsibility and business ethics, the contemporary discussion rarely touches upon the normative core and philosophical foundations of business. There is a need to discuss the theoretical basis of business ethics and of business and human rights. Even though the actions and activities of business may be di...
'Does European regulatory private law offer a genuine model of justice for society? Beyond its initial libertarian focus on economic integration through the market citizen, might it now serve the social inclusion of the vulnerable? In the wake of Hans Micklitz's inspired and relentless pursuit of meaning within the ongoing constitutionalization of private law relationships, this rich collection explores the implications of new, specifically European, forms of access rights, which ensure (horizontally and vertically) enforceable and non-discriminatory opportunity for market participation.' Horatia Muir Watt, Columbia Law School, US This insightful book, with contributions from leading interna...

Wechselwirkungen zwischen Arbeitsmarkt und sozialer Sicherung berühren in vielfältiger Weise zentrale Themen der Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik und stehen vielfach im Brennpunkt öffentlicher Diskussionen - man denke beispielsweise an die Frühverrentung als arbeitsmarktpolitisches Instrument mit erheblichen Auswirkungen auf die Sozialversicherung. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Arbeitsmarkt und sozialer Sicherung beschränkt sich aber nicht auf solche Bereiche, in denen - wie in der Sozialversicherung - sowohl die Finanzierung als auch der Erwerb von Ansprüchen auf Sozialleistungen an die Erwerbstätigkeit anknüpfen, sondern berührt viele weitere Bereiche der sozialen Sicherung. Der vorlieg...
