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)

How come? What programmes have emerged in which countries? How inclusive are the programmes? What models have i...

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.
'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.'
