Kartell-Rundschau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kartell-Rundschau was a trade journal that appeared between 1903 and 1944.

Journalistic conception

The magazine Kartell-Rundschau was intended for scientists from various disciplines as well as for business practitioners. The language of publication was German, so that the distribution area extended to Central Europe, including Austria-Hungary and its successor states. The Kartell-Rundschau was published (mostly) monthly in order to be able to serve up-to-date reporting.

In the foreword to the first issue of 1903 it was stated programmatically:

“The Cartel problem is at the forefront of modern economic issues. For the economist an inexhaustible field of research, for the legal system one of the most recalcitrant matters, for legislation an urgent and difficult task, for individual political and social groups an object of the most violent commands, for industry and trade an often indispensable means of organization, the cartels are one of the most eminent discussion issues of the present. [...]

All those who are interested in the Cartel system have so far lacked a publicistic organ in which the contemporary Cartel movement would be reflected, as it is, on the one hand, in the efforts and efforts for an appropriate legal treatment, and on the other Life and work of the Cartelle itself expresses. The Cartell-Rundschau wants to be such an organ. [...]

The 'Cartell-Rundschau' appeals to all interested parties to kindly encourage the fulfillment of this program. It offers the theorists of cartels its columns for the publication of their thoughts and studies on questions about cartels, the cartels themselves are requested to send reports about their functions, their resolutions, statistical presentations on [...] temporarily or regularly to the 'Cartell-Rundschau'. "

Publication places, publisher and publication history

Founded in Vienna, the new magazine was published in the German Reich from 1906. From 1916 it appeared in Berlin. The Kartell-Rundschau was first published by Josef Borger, between 1904 and 1936 by Siegfried Tschierschky , a renowned Düsseldorf antitrust attorney and association manager, and most recently between 1937 and 1944 by Hans Klinger, the Reich Economic Judge. In 1944 the magazine ceased to appear due to the war.

After the Second World War, the Kartell-Rundschau was not revived as a journalistic organ. A new or reuse of the traditional title 'Kartell-Rundschau' in 1960, now as a monographic series, failed after just ten publications in 1969.

meaning

The Kartell-Rundschau was the relevant trade journal of the German-speaking cartel movement and cartel science. Later the topic of steering associations in a state-administered economy, such as existed in the Third Reich, was added.

Due to the political paradigm shift in matters of cartels after the Second World War, both the cartel movement and a magazine related to it lost ground.
