Wittgenstein’s Moral Thought (Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory)

Wittgenstein’s work, early and later, contains the seeds of an original and important rethinking of moral or ethical thought that has, so far, yet to be fully appreciated. The ten essays in this collection, all specially commissioned for this volume, are united in the claim that Wittgenstein’s thought has much to contribute to our understanding of this fundamental area of philosophy and of our lives. They take up a variety of different perspectives on this aspect of Wittgenstein’s work, and explore the significance of Wittgenstein’s moral thought throughout his work, from the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, and Wittgenstein’s startling claim there that there can be no ethical propositions, to the Philosophical Investigations.

Wives Not Slaves: Patriarchy and Modernity in the Age of Revolutions (American Beginnings, 1500-1900)

Wives not Slaves begins with the story of John and Eunice Davis, a colonial American couple who, in 1762, advertised their marital difficulties in the New Hampshire Gazette—a more common practice for the time and place than contemporary readers might think. John Davis began the exchange after Eunice left him, with a notice resembling the ads about runaway slaves and servants that were a common feature of eighteenth-century newspapers. John warned neighbors against “entertaining her or harbouring her. . . or giving her credit.” Eunice defiantly replied, “If I am your wife, I am not your slave.” With this pointed but problematic analogy, Eunice connected her individual challenge to her husband’s authority with the broader critiques of patriarchal power found in the politics, religion, and literature of the British Atlantic world. Kirsten Sword’s richly researched history reconstructs the stories of wives who fled their husbands between the mid-seventeenth and early nineteenth centuries, comparing their plight with that of other runaway dependents. Wives not Slaves explores the links between local justice, the emerging press, and transatlantic political debates about marriage, slavery and imperial power. Sword traces the relationship between the distress of ordinary households, domestic unrest, and political unrest, shedding new light on the social changes imagined by eighteenth-century revolutionaries, and on the politics that determined which patriarchal forms and customs the new American nation would—and would not—abolish.

Wohnbaufinanzierung in Österreich: Geschichtliche Entwicklung. Derzeitiger Stand (Schriftenreihe der Forschungsgesellschaft für den Wohnungsbau im ÖIAV, Wien #15)

Wohneigentum: Herausforderungen und Perspektiven (Bibliothek des Eigentums #11)

​Wohnungspolitik war das beherrschende Thema der Wirtschaftspolitik aller Bundesregierungen in den Nachkriegsjahren. Nach Jahrzehnten abnehmender Bedeutung wird Wohnungspolitik erneut zu einer zentralen Agenda der Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik und stellt die wissenschaftliche Forschung vor neue Herausforderungen. Zahlreiche aktuelle politische und gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen (Knappheit von Wohnraum, demographischer Wandel, Energiepolitik und Klimaschutz, Finanzierung in Zeiten der Finanzkrise, Immobilien als Altersvorsorge) haben unmittelbare Auswirkungen auf den Wohnungsmarkt. Vorliegender Sammelband sucht diese Aspekte aus dem Blickwinkel unterschiedlicher wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen zu analysieren, Handlungsmöglichkeiten zu diskutieren und derart fundierte Empfehlungen an die Politik zu formulieren. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, die wohnungspolitische Diskussion anzuregen und Anstöße für eine Weiterentwicklung günstiger Rahmenbedingungen zu geben.​

Wohneigentum für breite Schichten der Bevölkerung (Bibliothek des Eigentums #18)

In der wohnungspolitischen Debatte steht meist der Mietwohnungsmarkt im Vordergrund, dabei bietet das Wohneigentum gerade auch für Haushalte mit geringeren Einkommen vielfältige Möglichkeiten. Sei es die Vermeidung jahrelanger Mietzahlungen, die Stabilität gleichbleibender Kreditzahlungen, die Sicherheit, dass niemand Eigenbedarf anmelden kann, oder die Vorsorge für das Alter; all dies sind Beweggründe hin zum Eigentum. Kosten und Vermögensbildung wie auch länderspezifische und bundespolitische Instrumente, werden – neben vielen anderen Aspekten – in diesem Buch von namhaften Autorinnen und Autoren diskutiert. Beispiele erfolgsversprechender Lösungen werden aufgezeigt, die den Zugang zu Wohneigentum für breite Schichten der Bevölkerung erleichtern sollen.

Wohnungseigentum zwischen individualgrundrechtlicher Gewährleistung und kollektiver Einbindung (Bibliothek des Eigentums #12)

Das Wohnungseigentum ist auch gut 60 Jahre nach seiner Schaffung durch den Gesetzgeber als Eigenheim wie auch als Kapitalanlage von herausragender Bedeutung. Vorliegendes Werk nimmt erstmals monographisch eine verfassungsrechtliche Würdigung das Rechtsinstituts Wohnungseigentum vor. Dabei schlägt es die Brücke vom einfachen Recht des Wohnungseigentumsgesetzes zum Verfassungsrecht und verortet das Wohnungseigentum innerhalb der Eigentumsdogmatik des Art. 14 GG. Besonderheiten ergeben sich dabei insbesondere daraus, dass das Wohnungseigentum aus verfassungsrechtlicher Perspektive teilweise Alleineigentum und teilweise Miteigentum darstellt, wobei diese beiden Elemente untrennbar miteinander verknüpft sind und gesetzgeberische Regelungen daher Auswirkungen auf beide Bereiche haben können. Der Band liefert einen Leitfaden für die Auflösung des sich hieraus ergebenden Spannungsfeldes zwischen grundrechtlich gewährleisteter Selbstbestimmung einerseits und Fremdbestimmung durch die Einbindung in ein Kollektiv andererseits.

Wohnungsprivatisierung in den neuen Ländern: Mieterprivatisierung und Modelle mieternaher Privatisierung (Potsdamer Rechtswissenschaftliche Reihe #5)

Woke, Inc.: Inside the Social Justice Scam

A young entrepreneur makes the case that politics has no place in business, and sets out a new vision for the future of capitalism. The modern woke-industrial complex divides us as a people. By mixing morality with consumerism, corporate elites prey on our innermost insecurities about who we really are. They sell us cheap social causes and skin-deep identities to satisfy our hunger for a cause and our search for meaning, at a moment when we lack both. Vivek Ramaswamy is a traitor to his class. He’s founded multibillion-dollar enterprises, led a biotech company as CEO, trained as a scientist at Harvard and a lawyer at Yale, and grew up the child of immigrants in a small town in Ohio. Now he takes us behind the scenes into corporate boardrooms and five-star conferences, into Ivy League classrooms and secretive nonprofits, to reveal the defining scam of our century. But this book not only rips back the curtain on the new corporatist agenda, it offers a better way forward. Corporate elites may want to sort us into demographic boxes, but we don’t have to stay there. Woke, Inc. begins as a critique of stakeholder capitalism and ends with an exploration of what it means to be a member of society in 2021 – a journey that begins with cynicism and ends with hope.
