Mathias Schmoeckel

Rechtsgeschichte der Wirtschaft

Seit dem 19. Jahrhundert
Unter Mitarb. v. Matthias Maetschke

[The Legal History of the Economy. Since the 19th Century.]

Published in German.

The regulatory framework of the Industrial Revolution was increasingly governed by law, but the law as well was an outcome of the new economic boom. This is made clear in a look at the development of the various interrelated fields of law. In this textbook, Mathias Schmoeckel gives students of law, history and related disciplines a chronological overview of the development of the regulatory framework in the German economy from 1800 up to the present. He focuses on the development of commercial law, the protection of industrial property, corporate law, antitrust law and labor law. In doing so, he shows the decisive influence of the Second Reich on the legal structure of the German economy through state-controlled markets, an influence which is still felt today.
