| Abstract | Zieren's article discusses the insights of the German scholar Waltershausen into the economic system of the United States and in the 19th century as well as his blind spots. The author argues that Waltershausen's lack of objectivity resulted from his being a "citizen of the German Reich," which was in direct economic competition with the United States. Zieren's article focusses on Waltershausen's investigations into issues of German-American economic relations, such as "tariffs, immigration, currency issues and general commercial regulations and restrictions." It also discusses Waltershausen's comparison of the German and American work ethics. |
