Founding of the publishing house

In 1994 Roman Landau founded UBW Verlag to promote innovative and critical scientists and to disseminate useful knowledge.

The authors of this work, Ralph Davidson and Christoph Luhmann, have paved the way for an international discussion (from Russia to Canada) about the roots of Western civilization. Their well-founded criticism of the myth of the so-called "rising bourgeoisie" as the driving force of an (anti-Christian and thus also anti-Jewish) western progress and their cultural revolutionary re-evaluation of the Judeo-Christian cultural tradition as the real driving force of modern society is given the abundance of paradigms they put forward , has been positively received by renowned economic historians . The work on European Judeo-Christian cultural history by W. Kaltenstadler is particularly noteworthy.
