The Deserving Rich - A Mulit-Disciplinary Analysis of the (Re-)Production of (German)Wealth

Freie Universität Berlin, Technische Universität Dortmund

Currently, more than half of the wealth in most OECD countries is not earned but inherited. The central question of the interdisciplinary research project is: How and in what way can the different narratives explain the (re)production of wealth in Germany? Building on the concept of the "deserving rich", the research project will identify discourses, instruments and institutional arrangements of wealth genesis and examine the arguments of "deserved" and "undeserved" wealth. In a historical perspective, the German inheritance tax law of recent German history will be analysed. The results will be used to draw conclusions about social and political transformation processes in the past, present and future.

Contestations of the Liberal Script in the Making of Modern Global International Society

Sep 01, 2020 — Dec 31, 2022

Liberalism is a complex and varied tradition of political thinking and political practice. And yet, when it comes to liberalism in the international or global arena, recent discussion has been overwhelmingly concerned with the so-called ‘global liberal order’ of the post-Cold War period. This part of the SCRIPTS programme is funded by the Einstein Foundation. It seeks to rescue liberalism from the ‘global liberal order’ and to open up a much wider range of liberal approaches and understandings, including the retrieval and recasting of a much more strongly pluralist version of liberalism that stresses deep diversity, non-domination and self-determination, effective political agency, and balanced power. Closely connected to the pluralism of this strand of liberalism is the need to understand the changing nature of the global and the historical process by which Western or European international society became global. One part of the work of the group looks at this broad historical process and at the implications for the world in which we now live. Another part is more regionally focussed on Latin America, looking at the role of US philanthropic foundations in funding human rights activism in the region; and, in collaborative work, at the liberal (and illiberal) characteristics of Latin America as a regional international society.
