Im Bereich "Geldanlage" liegen theoretische Erkenntnis und gelebte
Praxis erstaunlich weit auseinander. Auf der einen Seite die
Forschung mit ihren ausserst interessanten Ergebnissen, auf der
anderen Seite das Heer der Privatanleger und Berater, die von den
Ergebnissen der Wissenschaft kaum Notiz nehmen und weiter Dinge
behaupten, die langst widerlegt sind - vor diesem Hintergrund haben
wir zehn Grundsatze soliden Investierens zusammengestellt. Sie sind
zum Teil "genial einfach" (Prof. Dr. Martin Weber), vor allem aber
entsprechen sie dem aktuellen Stand der Finanzmarktforschung und
beschaftigen sich mit praktischen Fragen, die den Anleger angehen:
Wirkt die Abgeltungsteuer in jedem Fall renditeschmalernd? Welche
Gebuhren sind bei den einzelnen Anlageformen enthalten? Wie plant
man Anlagehorizont und Risikostreuung? Dr. Hannes Peterreins gibt
nutzliche Antworten und leicht umsetzbare Ratschlage."

'It's high time we expose and remedy the pseudo-feminist marketing
malarkey holding women back under the guise of empowerment' Amanda
Montell, author of Wordslut ________________ Brands profit by
telling women who they are and how to be. Now they've discovered
feminism and are hell bent on selling 'fempowerment' back to us.
But behind the go-girl slogans and the viral hash-tags has anything
really changed? In Brandsplaining, Jane Cunningham and Philippa
Roberts expose the monumental gap that exists between the women
that appear in the media around us and the women we really are.
Their research reveals how our experiences, wants and needs - in
all forms - are ignored and misrepresented by an industry that
fails to understand us. They propose a radical solution to resolve
this once and for all: an innovative framework for marketing that
is fresh, exciting, and - at last - sexism-free. ________________

The W116 was the first Mercedes-Benz model to be officially called
the S-Class, the start of a long line which continues to the
present day. It offered a choice of smooth six and eight-cylinder
engines, culminating in the hugely powerful 450 SEL 6.9, as well as
a more economical turbodiesel for the North American market. Only
available from the factory as a saloon - in standard and
long-wheelbase versions - nearly half a million cars were built
during its eight-year career. This guide will help you learn about
the differences between models, and what to look for when buying.
What are the true running costs, and what issues - with the
mechanicals, body or interior - should you be wary of? Is a
restoration worth considering? This handy guide will take you
step-by-step through the process of finding and evaluating a good
W116 and making a successful purchase. Essential data and
information about clubs and specialists will help you look after
and enjoy your W116.
Die Grundannahmen und Theorien der OEkonomie seit Adam Smith und
Karl Marx scheinen heutzutage (mehr als) uberholt. Dieses Buch
eroeffnet Lesenden eine neue, ganzheitliche Perspektive auf
oekonomische, soziale und politische Fragestellungen. Mit Hilfe
eines verhaltenstheoretischen Ansatzes und interdisziplinarer
Betrachtungen denkt Vinzenz von Holle das System OEkonomie voellig
neu. Auf diese Weise widerlegt er bisherige Forschungsparadigmen
und ist in der Lage realitatsnahe Problemstellungen zu erklaren, an
denen bisherige oekonomische Theorien immer noch scheitern. Dabei
analysiert das Buch die Fehler des aktuellen Wirtschaftssystems,
identifiziert deren Ursachen und zeigt auf, wie
Veranderungsprozesse in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft optimiert
werden koennen. Praxisnah und verstandlich, sowohl fur Laien als
auch OEkonomen.
