Books by Gottfried Dietze

This book examines whether Weber's approach has a greater humanizing value than has been conceded by his opponents and will attempt to demonstrate the humanistic mission of the University and its usefulness for youth and democracy.

The author reemphasizes the major values of America's Founding Fathers as set forth in the Constitution, and delineates how far from that American dream democracy has strayed. Originally published by Johns Hopkins Press in 1968. Comments on the first edition:

In Defense of Property focuses on the importance of private property and its protection throughout history. Emphasizing the connection between property and propriety, Gottfried Dietze shows how the universal appreciation of property functions as an ethical institution, securing happiness under law and order.
