Driving Productivity reconstructs the industrial histories of the American and German automotive industries, offering a fresh perspective on their development. 
 
From the Fordist assembly line to Japanese lean production and Industry 4.0, Anthony J. Knowles critically examines major technical developments within the historical dynamics of capitalism. Both countries face the pressure to automate, transform labor, and increase efficiency, yet their responses differ due to divergent paradigms of integrating business, labor, and government. The book makes a strong case that improving productivity is a never-ending process that becomes a compulsory social imperative that industries must respond to but that is nevertheless responded to differently between countries.

Deep Cuts

The 'fresh start' that is afforded individual debtors through the discharge doctrines of American bankruptcy law has, to date, defied justification by a single normative principle or theoretical paradigm. The justificatory accounts that have been advanced either fail to explain core doctrines that have long defined the right of discharge or invite theoretical challenges that suggest that their descriptive virtues are swamped by their normative or conceptual shortcomings. This book presents a taxonomy of traditional justifications of bankruptcy and subjects them to critical evaluation. It then seeks to offer a new justification of bankruptcy's 'fresh start' doctrines-one that takes its inspiration from a quite different moral tradition than those that have informed past efforts to justify and explain our enduring societal willingness to release people from onerous financial obligations. The book argues that personal debt relief is fully vindicated not by a utilitarian theory, nor by a distributive justice theory, nor by a retributive theory, nor by any other rights- or duties-based theory that is preoccupied with moral claims that particular creditors or debtors might proffer. Rather, the long-standing institution of discharge in bankruptcy is best explained by an aretaic, or virtue-based, theory that concerns itself with the obligations that the rest of us have to be charitable towards those who are unable to repay their debts. The fresh start that bankruptcy gives to those who have been shackled by overwhelming debt is justified not by its effects on creditors, debtors, or future market actors, but by its satisfaction of the demands of individual charity to which all citizens are subject. Bankruptcy's discharge of the debts of those who have become financially desperate is best thought to be an institution that aggregates others' demands of good character so as to permit citizens for whom debt-forgiveness is a personal virtue to live in a society that fulfils that virtue.

Why should debtors who default on their obligations be forgiven? Focusing on this central question at the heart of bankruptcy, this book challenges the theoretical foundations of insolvency law, exploring the economic and moral rationales for the law's decision to wipe the slate clean.

The Virtue of Bankruptcy

Debts and the Demands of Conscience

Elon Musk ist der mächtigste Mann der Welt. Tesla machte ihn zum dreihundertfachen Milliardär, mit seinem Satellitennetzwerk Starlink beeinflusst er das Kriegsgeschehen in der Ukraine. Sein Social-Media-Netzwerk X nutzt Musk als Bühne für seine persönliche Propaganda. Im Herbst 2024 kaufte er sich auch noch in die US-Regierung ein. 
Musk inszeniert sich als Retter der Zivilisation, doch sein Geniegestus birgt eine erschreckende Kehrseite: Ungewöhnlich viele Arbeitsunfälle in seinen Fabriken, gefährliche Fehler des Tesla-Autopiloten und zahllose gebrochene Versprechen werfen einen dunklen Schatten auf seinen Erfolg. 
Die Investigativjournalisten Sönke Iwersen und Michael Verfürden reißen in diesem Buch Musks Fassade ein. Sie analysieren interne Tesla-Daten, werten Gerichtsakten aus und sprechen mit Kunden, Mitarbeitern und Hinterbliebenen. Ihre Recherchen zeigen einen Konzern außer Kontrolle und einen Chef ohne Skrupel. Sie sind ein Vorgeschmack darauf, was die Welt von Musk als erstem globalen Oligarchen zu erwarten hat. 
'Ich habe kein Problem damit, gehasst zu werden', sagt Elon Musk. Seine Biografie gleicht einer Kaskade von Kämpfen - mit seinen Mitarbeitern, seinen Geschäftspartnern und in seinen privaten Beziehungen. Nun ist er der Schattenpräsident der USA und greift über sein Netzwerk X weltweit in die Politik ein. Musk geriert sich als Schutzpatron für rechte und rechtsextreme Politiker. Die preisgekrönten Investigativjournalisten Sönke Iwersen und Michael Verfürden zeichnen das Porträt eines libertären Techno-Autokraten, der keine Grenzen akzeptiert. Sein Motto: Die Welt gehört ihm, alle anderen leben nur darin.&nbsp;Aktualisierte und leicht überarbeitete Neuauflage nach den sich überschlagenden Ereignissen in der US-Regierung und rund um das Tesla-Werk in der brandenburgischen Gemeinde Grünheide.

Commentary on specific considerations for the US is also provided. In addition to precedent commentaries, the book also contains detailed commentary and discussion of legal issues common to the life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, as well as links to relevant materials (eg regulatory materials on clinical trials).

Across the Aisle

This balanced book illuminates Republican and Democratic responses and attitudes toward crime, police work, sentencing, incarceration, and rehabilitation in the USA. A broad array of law enforcement and criminal justice issues are examined, including mass incarceration, sentencing disparities, anti-drug efforts, marijuana legalization, death penalty, mandatory minimums, civil asset forfeiture, prison privatization, rape and other crimes in prison settings, women in prison, support for therapeutic/educational programs, sentencing for juvenile offenders, harsher penalties for hate crimes, and voting rights for ex-felons. The focus is on specific and timely topics in criminal justice that are most susceptible to legislative policies. Readers will benefit by developing an appreciation for how politics impacts the criminal justice system, and how the parties have developed laws that impact their lives, dictate acceptable behavior, and legislate appropriate responses for violators. The emphasis of the series is contemporary, but it includes historical perspective to provide a sense of how each party's positions and actions have evolved over time.

The Principles of Family Business Law offers an accessible approach to legal issues that shape family businesses. Drawing on years of research, the book introduces three principles - intimacy, integration, and inheritance - that explain why family businesses are distinctive and how, with proper guidance, they can thrive. The book examines recurring problems such as role conflicts among family members, succession planning obstacles, and ownership disputes. Vivid case studies illustrate how legal rules interact with family dynamics in practice. Designed for scholars, students, lawyers, and business advisors, the book integrates insights from corporate law, family law, and estate planning, while remaining readable and grounded in real-world concerns. Whether used in the classroom or in practice, it provides essential tools for navigating the complex interplay of law and family business. By supporting the resilience of family businesses, the book affirms the family and community values they help to sustain.

Buch-Rückseite:
"Nach Osten ans Ende der Welt" ist "Eine Eisenbahnreise mit der Transsibirischen Eisenbahn", wie uns der Untertitel sagt.
Kurt Drawert hat sie 2000 unternommen und 2001 den Text publiziert. Die zweite Prosa dieses Bandes "America Metaphern" 
ist während Kurt Drawerts Stipendium in der Villa Aurora, Los Angeles, im Jahr 2022 entstanden - die beiden Texte klammern subkutan die zwei Blöcke der Weltpolitik ein. Als tertium datur erkennen wir jenseits der Abgründe der einst exklusiven Weltmächte eine europäische Kultur. Und sei es nur im Blick des Erzählers, als der Drawert immer Lebensformen und -verformungen zu fassen versteht.
