Editor-in-chief of three consecutive periodicals

Renamed magazine for the interests of German industry and export trade . Further changes under Steinmann's leadership took place in 1897 when that publication (until the beginning of August 1914) was published under the Deutsche Industrie-Zeitung. Organ of the Central Association of German Industrialists for the Promotion and Preservation of National Labor was named , so it became an association journal. The follow - up publication of the Industrie-Zeitung from mid-August 1914 to March 1920 was called Communications of the War Committee of German Industry .

Economic engagement

Steinmann-Bucher was a committed advocate of the business cartels that had increasingly emerged after the establishment of the empire in 1871 . Together with Friedrich Kleinwächter , the founder of the cartel theory from 1883, Steinmann-Bucher was the most important early cartel writer. “In addition to the sanction of the scholar, the cartels urgently needed the practical work of a publicist […]. After the systematic [= small guard] now comes the daily writer (journalist). "

Steinmann-Bucher has been reporting in the industrial newspaper since the late 1880s on the current status of industrial mergers. His focus was on the Rhenish industry. For the period up to the First World War, Steinmann-Bucher is not only regarded as a journalistic reporter, but also as a political “thought leader of the heavy industrial Central Association of German Industry”. In addition to newspaper and magazine articles, Steinmann-Bucher wrote several monographs in which he developed political demands for a stronger consolidation of the cartels into a cooperative, non-liberal form of economy.
