Die Europäische Union ist aktuell mit einem beispiellosen Zusammenspiel komplexer Krisen konfrontiert. Obwohl deren Ursprünge oftmals weit in die Vergangenheit zurückreichen, ist die Geschichte der europäischen Integration in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung kaum präsent. Aufbauend auf aktuellster Forschung greifen in diesem Band führende Expert:innen...
State education in honest tax payment can be understood as a facet of training in citizenship, i.e. as an attempt by the modern state to standardize the behavior of its citizens and to prevent deviations. Based on this Foucauldian understanding, this exploratory article examines tax education in the United States, Spain, and West Germany from the m...
Paying taxes is a field of economic activity that has always been highly morally charged: the question of who pays how much or can avoid or evade the prescribed payments is always closely related to debate about a fair societal distribution of burdens. In the process of moralisation, therefore, faith communities such as the Catholic Church also rep...

»Über Geld spricht man nicht.« Diese Benimmregel erweist sich beim Blick in die Vergangenheit als Illusion. Keineswegs war Geld grundsätzlich ein Tabuthema zwischenmenschlicher Kommunikation. Ganz im Gegenteil: Mit dem Reden über Geld wird dieses mit Bedeutung aufgeladen. Die Autor*innen dieses Themenheftes untersuchen Gelddiskurse und die Zuschrei...
A diligent study, which provides a helpful and indispensable basis for further research in the field of Greek-German post-war economic relations.
Eine moralische Ideengeschichte der Ökonomie. Schließen sich Ökonomie und Moral aus? Obwohl viele diese Frage intuitiv bejahen würden, ist ökonomisches Handeln im Kern immer auch soziales Handeln, das nur im Kontext von moralischen Deutungen und Kontroversen zu verstehen ist. Wie wurden moralische Argumente also verwendet, um ökonomische Praktiken...
On 5 July 2015, the Greek voters were presented with a referendum on the austeri‐ ty policy that the European institutions demanded Greece should implement. Over 60% answered “No”, a vote that, however, the Greek government of then Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras did not act according to this outcome. The paper argues that the memorandum nonetheless...
Den Bodenmarkt stellen wir uns gemeinhin als einen mehr oder weniger freien vor, auf dem Angebot und Nachfrage die Preise bestimmen, zu denen man Land kaufen oder verkaufen kann. Im Gegensatz dazu nimmt Daniel Stienen in seiner Dissertation den zunehmend deliberalen Bodenmarkt in den beiden preußischen Provinzen Westpreußen und Posen ins Visier, un...
The following issue arose from a section at the Congress for Economic and Social History in Regensburg in March 2019 and focuses on fiscal conflicts in Europe from the early modern period until today. Distributive fiscal conflicts are seen here as a probe into the past which can increase our understanding of historical social structures. Fiscal his...
From the 1880s scientists developed methods to measure (dishonest) tax payment behaviour. The first part of this article provides an overview of these methods and their development. The second part enquires into the function of measuring methods in the societal discourse about (honest) tax payments. The tax morale research of Günter Schmölders, car...
It is often noted that people remember the past to better manage the present. One major driving force of economic behaviour is expectations of the future or ‘imagined futures’, as the sociologist Jens Beckert calls them. But whereas these expectations are oriented towards the future, the frames in which they arise are strongly influenced by the pas...
The papers in this book reflect on people’s relationships with past financial crises—from public opinion to business leaders and policy-makers. In connection with financial crises, this collection addresses three fundamental questions: first, are financial crises remembered, and if so how? Second, have lessons been drawn from past financial crises?...
Zusammenfassung
Der vorliegende Aufsatz fragt nach Strategien kultureller Vermittler, den bei der Erstbegegnung mit einer fremden Kultur eintretenden Schock zu verarbeiten und die kulturellen Differenzen neu zu semantisieren und sinnhaft zu deuten. Er greift drei geografisch und chronologisch weit auseinanderliegende Fallbeispiele von kulturellen V...
Die Bundesregierung hat ein umfangreiches Konjunkturpaket im kalkulierten Wert von 130 Milliarden Euro aufgelegt, um die durch die Corona-Epidemie bedingte Rezession zu bekämpfen. Viele andere eu-ropäische Staaten dagegen stehen wirtschaftlich nicht so gut da wie die Bundesrepublik und können bei der Wiederaufbauhilfe nicht aus dem Vollen schöpfen....

Scandals such as the recent Cum Ex scandal, the Panama or the Paradise papers repeatedly arouse public outrage about the inadequate tax payment behaviour of wealthy people in particular. Although this complaint about lack of tax morality is as old as taxes themselves, the subject has not yet been taken up by historians. The present contribution fir...
Between the 7. August 1963 and the 25. January 1964 the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung published a series of fourteen articles dealing with "the crucial question of tax morality". The article explores why the newspaper picked up on this topic, which was not very prominent in the press in the 1960s. In what way did the series contribute to the disco...
How can historian examine the history of tax morale? After some methodological considerations, based on ideas inspired by the Sociology of Morality, the paper investigates discourses on honest tax payment behavriour in the FRG from 1945 to 1953. In the beginning of the period the discourse on tax morale was very intensive due to an empty budget. Th...

This in-depth case study investigates the question of the Greek loan of 1833, issued by Rothschilds. The main interest is to reconstruct James de Rothschild’s risk perception and decision making process, expressed in the argumentation vis-à-...
This volume contributes to the broadening of perspectives on international history, which have mainly focused on state forms of international cooperation in the 19th and 20th centuries so far. The volume questions ideas and theoretical models that are guided by methodological nationalism. Instead, it integrates studies under the concept of cross-bo...

Bis repetita non placent. Greek Financial Controls in the 19th Century and the Present
In June 2017, in the negotiations between Greece, the European Union and its Member States, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund, it was decided that the highly-indebted country in Europe's southern periphery should receive an additiona...
It is not only in the present day that Greece is seen as a shaky candidate for foreign direct investment, this was also the case in the 19th century. In the period between 1879 and 1891 the country borrowed sums at the international financial markets that obviously exceeded its debt sustainability, so that it went bankrupt in 1893. Why did European...
