Sommario/riassunto

This collection of essays in honour of Professor Robert Davidson celebrates a number of notable achievements of this outstanding



Scottish churchman and scholar. It is published for the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday, but it also marks his retirement from full-time university teaching and nods in the direction of his having been the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland (1990-91). The guiding principle governing this collection of essays is the notion of the Bible as the generator of other texts and cultural productions. The contributors are drawn from Davidson's wid

Sommario/riassunto

Die fundamentalen Probleme der Wirtschaftskrise in den späten 20er und frühen 30er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts bleiben nach wie vor eine intellektuelle Herausforderung. Wie kaum ein anderes Datum der jüngsten Weltgeschichte hat der "Schwarze Donnerstag" des 24. Oktober 1929 den Glauben an die Rationalität der Märkte erschüttert und deren Verwundbarkeit aufgezeigt. Die "Große Depression" des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts als - fatales - Ergebnis eines Versuchs zu werten, das Rad der Geschichte zurückzudrehen und mit Kontrolle, Protektionismus, Nationalismus und Autarkie dem freien Verkehr von Waren, Kapitalströmen und nicht zuletzt Menschen zu begegnen, ist eine der Botschaften dieses Bandes.
