The book 'Über die Lage des in Deutschland' is a comprehensive study documenting the conditions and challenges of itinerant tradespeople in Germany at the turn of the 20th century. It is part of a larger series by the Verein für Socialpolitik, which aims to provide a detailed overview of economic and social conditions in Germany. The text includes reports and observations from various regions, such as Berlin, Munich, and Baden, highlighting the socioeconomic status, working conditions, and regulations affecting peddlers and small traders. The author collaborates with multiple experts and officials to compile these accounts, which are designed to inform and potentially influence social policy. The book is intended for policymakers, economists, and scholars interested in social and economic history. |
