Algorithmen beeinflussen inzwischen nahezu jeden Bereich des täglichen Lebens. Davon umfasst ist im Besonderen die unternehmerische Preissetzung, die sowohl im Online- als auch im Offline-Geschäft zunehmend algorithmisch organisiert wird. Preissetzungsalgorithmen bieten den Unternehmen neue Möglichkeiten der Datensammlung und -auswertung, ermöglichen aber auch einen umfassenden Austausch von Preisdaten mit Wettbewerbern. Diese digitalen Preissetzungssysteme können im Hinblick auf das deutsche und europäische Kartellrecht problematisch sein. In Betracht kommt ein Verstoß gegen das Kartellverbot, wobei unklar ist, ob dieses in der geltenden Form ausreicht, um mit diesen digitalen Formen horizontaler Kollusion angemessen umzugehen. Diese Arbeit beleuchtet die Problematik ausführlich und bewertet verschiedene Konstellationen unter Berücksichtigung von internationalen wettbewerbsbehördlichen und gerichtlichen Entscheidungen.

Explores the lives and intellectual influences of the creators of Critical Race TheoryCritical race theory (CRT), a vital movement and discipline in American legal scholarship, has transformed our understanding of systemic racism. Yet despite insightful analysis revealing the threads of racism embedded in American institutions and society, it has been demonized by opponents at every turn, with numerous state legislators now seeking to ban its use in the classroom.The Origins of Critical Race Theory weaves together the many sources of critical race theory, recounting the origin story for one of the most insightful and controversial academic movements in U.S. history. In addition to introducing readers to the tenets and key insights of critical race theory, Martinez and Smith explore the lives and intellectual influences of the movement's founders, shedding light on how the many components of critical race theory eventually formed into a movement.Through archival research and interviews with scholars like Derrick Bell, Richard Delgado, and Jean Stefancic, Aja Y. Martinez and Robert O. Smith provide the personal side of critical race theory. They reveal that despite the Marxist menace it has recently been made out to be, critical race theory is an organic extension of the Civil Rights movement, a deeply human and deeply American response to ongoing systemic injustice and inequity. An insightful exploration into the story of a movement, The Origins of Critical Race Theory narrates the hidden influences, fascinating characters, and intellectual struggles that informed critical race theory's inception.
