Three sons

The story of Karl Meidinger and his

three sons is not a biographical work – but

it could be.

The examination of this fictional entrepreneurial family

with their different life stories, especially

those of the three sons, is embedded in the respective

economic and political events of the

Federal Republic of Germany. It shows

that it is not only successes but also failures

that pave the way for our country's economic history

.

Parallel developments, mostly from the smallest

beginnings of many entrepreneurs, peppered with

the author's aptly incorporated entrepreneurial

experiences, make the book

a contemporary historical document, not

only for laypeople interested in economics.
