Ulrich Kaiser – författare

Empirical and theoretical evidence on the German service sector is inversely related to its growing overall importance for the entire economy. This monograph offers a comprehensive theory-based econometric treatment of three important and severely understudied issues related to services: innovative activity, the effects of innovation on the demand for labour, and the performance of newly founded firms. In addition, the book contains detailed descriptive statistics on innovative activity, skill mix as well as on growth and current economic importance. It offers researchers, policy makers, and practitioners a unique opportunity to gain knowledge on the new German service economy.

Obgleich das bolschewistische Rußland durch den mit brutaler Gewalt durchgesetzten Umsturz der bestehenden Gesellschaftsordnung in den bürgerlichen Kreisen Europas Abscheu und Angst erregte, suchte das unter dem Druck der Versailler Friedensbedingungen stehende Deutschland schon bald den friedlichen Ausgleich mit dem Sowjetstaat. Auch die Zentrumspartei unterstützte diese Politik. Anhand von zeitgenössischen Quellen werden die politischen Analysen und Debatten im deutschen Katholizismus nachgezeichnet, vor deren Hintergrund dem Zentrum – trotz zunehmender Kritik aus kirchlichen Kreisen – für lange Zeit die Kooperation mit einem System möglich war, dem man in unüberbrückbarer ideologischer Feindschaft gegenüberstand.
