Das Steuerrecht kennt eine Fülle von Fragen, die im Rahmen der Besteuerung der Einkünfte aus Kapitalvermögen und aus Spekulationsgeschäften beachtet werden müssen. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, die komplexe Thematik zum leichteren Verständnis und zur besseren Übersicht aufzuarbeiten. Systematisch werden die theoretischen Rechtsgrundlagen aufgezeigt und die gemäß höchstrichterlichen Entscheidungen sowie Verwaltungsanweisungen steuerlich zu beachtenden Probleme dargestellt. Dadurch wird die Möglichkeit eröffnet, ähnliche Fälle unter Anwendung des Rechts und der tragenden Gedanken der Rechtsprechung alleinverantwortlich zu lösen. Die gilt insbesondere hinsichtlich der sogenannten Finanzinnovationen, die in immer neuen Variationen auf den Markt drängen und steuerrechtlich beurteilt werden müssen.
 
 Für die 3. Auflage wurde das Buch vollständig überarbeitet, ergänzt und auf den aktuellen Rechtsstand gebracht. In einem neuen Kapitel wird ausführlich das Einführungsgesetz von elektronischen Wertpapieren dargelegt.

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

Unlock Your Unique Edge and Transform Your World of Work

Human Mode

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

Raus aus der (W)Ohnmacht! Ob jung oder alt, weiblich, männlich oder nonbinär, ob Paare, Singles, Groß- oder Kleinfamilien, ob mit Migrationsgeschichte oder ohne, ob arm oder reich: Wohnen geht uns alle an. Doch während unsere Gesellschaft so bunt ist wie nie, stecken wir beim Thema Wohnen in den 50er-Jahren fest: Zwei Zimmer, Küche, Bad (in der Stadt) oder eben das Haus mit Garten (auf dem Land) - für flexible, individuelle Wohnmodelle jenseits dieser beiden Idealtypen scheinen uns die Fantasie und der politische Gestaltungswille zu fehlen. Und das, obwohl wir angesichts explodierender Mieten und einer sich vor allem in den Städten verschärfenden Wohnraumkrise dringend eine Wende in der Wohnpolitik brauchen.Christine Hannemann, Deutschlands einzige Professorin für Wohnsoziologie, fordert in Raum für Wandel ein radikales Umdenken - in unseren Köpfen und in der Politik. Sie stellt innovative Formen des Zusammenlebens vor, die den tatsächlichen Bedürfnissen der Menschen gerecht werden und sozialer Isolation entgegenwirken. Und sie appelliert an jeden Einzelnen, über die eigenen Wohnbedürfnisse nachzudenken und aktiv an der Gestaltung einer neuen Wohnkultur mitzuwirken: 'Es ist an der Zeit, alte Mythen abzulegen und neue Wege des Wohnens zu erkunden, die ein erfülltes und gemeinschaftliches Leben ermöglichen.'

Raum für Wandel

How most investing decisions differ from what the data say works—and how replacing myth with measurement can improve outcomes. The Accidental Venture Capitalist examines how early-stage investment decisions are actually made—and why so many of them diverge from what the evidence says should work. Written by an academic-turned-venture capitalist Scott Shane, the book sits at the intersection of rigorous research and lived investing experience. Its central premise is simple but uncomfortable: in venture capital, folklore and intuition dominate practice, even though decades of empirical research offer more reliable guidance on selection, pricing, portfolio construction, and incentives. The book follows the full arc of the venture process, from fund design and deal sourcing to valuation, syndication, follow-on investing, governance, and exits. Each chapter takes a familiar maxim—“bet on the jockey,” “do more diligence,” “double down on winners”—and tests it against large-sample academic evidence and real investment outcomes. Shane’s analysis is grounded in power-law economics, behavioral decision-making, and incentive alignment. And he is transparent about mistakes as well as successes, treating his own funds as a living laboratory rather than a victory lap. The book also offers practical tools—checklists, heuristics, simple models—that translate evidence into decisions investors can actually implement.

Why Evidence Beats Instinct in Early-Stage Investing

The Accidental Venture Capitalist

An open invitation to changemakers, educators, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in the creative economy to lean into this grassroots global community and help drive systems change. We live in an age where every convenience is a finger tap away, but historically marginalized communities and ecosystems are paying the price of unconscious consumption. Our current economic practices contribute to environmental damage, social injustice, and declining public trust. The solution, argues Stacey Edgar, social entrepreneur and executive director of the International Folk Art Market, is the artisan economy. In contrast to the profit-at-all-costs model of the mainstream economy, the artisan approach to production and consumption encourages creativity, preserves culture, and cultivates connection. In Artisan Economics, Edgar proposes a shift toward this artisan-centric model that prioritizes creativity, dignity, and community. Drawing on stories and research from around the world, she outlines eight core principles of the artisan economy—purpose, creativity, dignity, resistance, community, value, sustainability, and shared prosperity. She also shares a framework, called the Taproot Model of Systems Change, on which to enact these principles by restoring a vision of the economy as a living system. Ultimately, Edgar proposes, the artisan economy is a way to reconnect consumers with makers, foster sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and human-focused global economy. To create true connections across our global economy, we need a dramatic overhaul of what it means to work and what it means to consume.

The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series

A clear, nontechnical guide to why cryptocurrency exists, how it reshapes trust and money, and why it matters beyond speculation. How do we build trust in a digital world where institutions, platforms, and intermediaries increasingly mediate money, identity, and ownership? In Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, Marco Di Maggio offers an essential guide to cryptocurrencies and blockchains—two of the most misunderstood technological and economic transformations of the digital age. Rather than focusing on price charts, hype cycles, or programming details, Di Maggio explains why these technologies exist, what problems they attempt to solve, and why they matter for people who are not crypto insiders. Using plain language, analogies, and real-world examples, the book explains how cryptocurrencies reshape core concepts of money, property, markets, and governance. The author explores topics such as how and why Bitcoin is used as a financial fallback, what stablecoins are and how they have become critical infrastructure for global payments, and how NFTs introduced a new notion of ownership and identity on the internet. Written for curious readers, journalists, students, policymakers, and professionals, Cryptocurrency provides a conceptual framework for understanding crypto as infrastructure, not ideology—helping readers see past the noise to grasp the deeper forces reshaping money, trust, and coordination in the digital economy.
