In this book, Rhodes provides a nonevaluative account of coercion. He begins with a thorough discussion of the charge that coercion is an essentially contested concept. He argues that effective communication of regulations pertaining to human conduct requires a basic level of clarity as to the kind of conduct being regulated. Accordingly, he argues that before we prescribe or proscribe conduct, we should describe it. In short, he maintains that wherever possible description should precede prescription and proscription. Rhodes begins his descriptive project by providing a fundamental account of human motivation. Upon this foundation he supports his distinctions between threats, offers, throffers, and neutral proposals. He argues that all coercion claims can be understood in light of these components. He applies this analysis to three prominent accounts of coercion as advanced by F.A. Hayek, Harry Frankfurt, and Robert Nozick. After comparing and contrasting these views, Rhodes provides his own account. Rhodes's account is based upon the identification of what he refers to as perceived-threat-avoidance-behavior as a necessary condition for coercion. As a descriptive, or nonevaluative, account, Rhodes is able to identify coercion independent from normative judgments. He argues that it is not the wrongfulness of some conduct that makes it coercion, instead, it is the coerciveness of some conduct that makes it wrong. Unique to Rhodes's account, coercion is not necessarily wrong. As a descriptive account, his view permits an independent analysis of the moral status of an act of coercion. The book concludes with a discussion of the normatively significant variables of a coercion claim.

Contracts are illegal not only when they contravene specific legal rules, but also when they are considered immoral or contrary to public policy. In this way rules of contract law also influence the exceptional and sometimes fragile relationship between law and morality. They determine which issues can be made the subject of a legally valid and enforceable agreement according to the values underlying the legal order to which they pertain. But despite their geographic proximity, shared history and common aim of a strong EU internal market there are remarkable differences in the underlying values of many European legal systems. This book brings together a group of well renowned contract lawyers that analyse how their own legal systems deal with 12 interesting cases of morally dubious agreements, including for example suretyships, conditional contracts of succession, nuptial agreements, surrogacy agreements, contracts for sex work and, of course, usurious contracts. All inspired by real litigations adjudicated by courts and covering the questions of validity and enforceability, as well as the availability of remedies. To give a comprehensive picture of immoral contracts across Europe, the national perspectives are complemented by chapters providing historical insights as well as an EU perspective. Throughout the book comprehensive analysis of the findings offers crucial insights into divergences and convergences and the decisive factors driving European thinking.

Wurde im NS-Staat die kapitalistische Ausbeutung auf die Spitze getrieben? Beruhte die Bändigung der Arbeiterklasse auf deren eigener Hinwendung zum Nationalsozialismus, auf der Unterdrückung durch Partei, Staat und Unternehmerschaft - oder auf der Bestechung durch sozialpolitische Zugeständnisse der Machthaber? Zu prüfen war ebenso die These, dass sich die Arbeitsverfassung unter der NS-Herrschaft im großen und ganzen ungestört und kontinuierlich weiterentwickelte, so dass die spezifischen Erscheinungen im "Dritten Reich" nur als Übergriffe der Nationalsozialisten auf ein ansonsten intaktes Arbeitsrechtsystem zu interpretieren seien. Dem Arbeitsrecht im NS-Staat kommt erhebliche politische Bedeutung zu, und so ist hier die vorliegende Darstellung ein Desiderat der Forschung. Der Autor behandelt nicht nur den gesamten Zeitraum von 1933 bis 1945, sondern greift auch auf die Vorgeschichte in der Weimarer Republik zurück. In seine vom Schwerpunkt her rechtshistorische Arbeit sind die Ergebnisse der jüngeren sozial-wirtschafts- und allgemeinhistorischen Forschung einbezogen. Die Bestandsaufnahme der arbeitsrechtlichen Gesetzgebung dient als Grundlage für die Untersuchung der Rechtsdurchsetzung durch Verwaltung und Gerichte. Die Studie wendet sich also nicht nur an Rechtshistoriker und historisch interessierte Juristen, sondern ebenso an alle, die sich mit den historischen Grundlagen der Sozialpolitik beschäftigen.
