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."

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.
