These are companion volumes to the company address books listed above and index the leading employees mentioned there. Coverage is not complete, however, and sometimes entries do not include any additional information. Some do contain biographical information and private addresses, but the volumes cannot be recommended as biographical reference works. These address books can be useful to complement Who's who type reference works. The Austrian volume contains about 28,000 names; the Czech Republic volume, 12,400; and the Hungarian volume, 20,000. A volume listing 35,000 Polish managers is due to appear in June 1995, titled Kto leitowni w Polska and will cost about DM 180.00. [sh/hsb]

Das grosse Buch der Wirtschaft [Guide to Economics] : Volkswirtschaft, Basiswissen... [Gunnar Schöherr; Wilma Merkel. Ed.: Egon F. Freiheit]. Gütersloh ; München : Bertelsmann-Lexikon-Verlag, 1995. - 731 p. : ill. ; 31 cm. - ISBN 3-570-10577-6 : DM 98.00

A combination of introductory texts to topics in finance and economics (parts 1 and 2) and a dictionary of ca. 2,000 terms (part 3). The first part includes copious, though not very informative graphics and is presented in a style appropriate for a young audience. The dictionary covers the field of economics well, and the definitions are formulated in simple terms. The stated intention of this work is to present complicated economic concepts clearly. In this it does not succeed: the explanations are superficial and oversimplify. [lf/sl]

Wörterbuch der Wirtschaft [Dictionary of Economics] / Karl-Dieter Gruske; Horst-Claus Recktenwald. - 12th rev. and exp. ed. - Stuttgart : Kröner, 1995. - XXVI, 730 p. ; 18 cm. (Kröners Taschenausgabe ; 114). - ISBN 3-520-11412-7 : DM 48.00

This 12th edition has been expanded by 23 pages and some 200 new entries. The tables and graphics have been updated. The updates mostly concern the changes in Eastern Europe, German reunification and the European Union. However, little has changed since the 11th edition was criticized in 1991 for having too few or outdated entries dealing with business administration. It is a handy reference tool for general and national economics. [lf/hsb]

Lexikon der Volkswirtschaft [Dictionary of Political Economics] / Geigant/Sobotka/Westphal. - 6th, rev. and exp. ed. - Landsberg/Lech : Verlag Moderne Industrie, 1994. - 1139 p.; 19 cm. - ISBN 3-478-37056-6 : DM 89.00

This edition includes about 3,000 keyword entries and cross references. Overarching concepts are treated in signed, scholarly articles; other terms are briefly defined and explained. Cross references abound. Entries are usually supplemented with often recent bibliographic references, which are collected into a 56 page bibliography at the end. Generally a solid, comprehensive dictionary of economics. [lf/hsb]

Gabler-Volkswirtschafts-Lexikon [Gabler's Dictionary of Political Economy]. - 3rd completely rev. and updated ed. - Wiesbaden : Gabler, 1990. - 1033 p. ; 21 cm. - ISBN 3-409-99183-2 : DM 84.00

This dictionary has ca. 5,000 entries, largely excerpted from the 12th edition of Gablers Wirtschaftslexikon (1988). Concepts from related disciplines such as statistics, econometrics, and law are included. The user will be pleased at the wealth of material, although the inclusion of concepts from business administration and management is inappropriate. [lf/mjc]

Lexikon der Staats- und Geldwirtschaft [Dictionary of Governmental and Financial Economics] : ein Lehr- und Nachschlagewerk / von Horst Claus Recktenwald. - München : Vahlen, 1983. - 759 p. ; 21 cm. - ISBN 3-8006-0832-4 : DM 76.00

Integrating the results of empirical research, this dictionary contains detailed explanations of ca. 900 concepts in the field of political economy and is illustrated with numerous tables and diagrams. Extensive cross-references to related concepts make it possible to work through the material systematically. Its instructional character attempts not only to impart facts but also to sharpen the critical faculties of the reader. Bibliographical references are sparse and quite out-of-date. [lf/mjc]

95-2-254

Kleines Volkswirtschaftslehre-Lexikon [Concise Dictionary of Political Economics] / [Wolfgang] Borchardt. - 2. ed. - München : Verlag für Wirtschaftsskripten, 1988. - 220 p. ; 21 cm. - (vfw ; 41 : Skriptenreihe). - ISBN 3-921636-55-8 : DM 29.80

This dictionary contains ca. 800 entries and references intended for the beginning student of political economics. Relatively short entries are standardized in the form of "concept and problem." Graphic representations of relationships are numerous. [lf/mjc]

95-2-255

Fachbegriffe der Volkswirtschaft [Technical Concepts of Political Economics] / von Günther Flemming. - 10., rev. ed. - Stuttgart : Deutscher Sparkassenverlag, 1993. - 220 p. ; 18 cm. - (Kleines Wirtschaftslexikon).

This dictionary offers ca. 200 articles limited to the basic concepts of political economics. Terms occuring only within an article rather than as separate entries are located via an index. Altogether ca. 700 concepts are included. Bibliographical references are lacking. This work is aimed at the interested layperson. [lf/mjc]

95-2-256

Handwörterbuch der Volkswirtschaft [Compact Dictionary of Political Economics] / [Ed.: Werner Glastetter ...]. 2nd, improved. ed.. - Wiesbaden : Gabler, 1980. - XIII p., 1746 columns. ; 25 cm. - ISBN 3-409-60272-0

This dictionary includes 112 lengthy articles written mostly by college teachers. Bibliographical references accompany each article. Many cross-references are scattered among the articles. As there has been no new edition since 1980, it is no longer current. [lf/mjc]

95-2-257

Grundwissen Wirtschaft [Foundations of Economics] : Marktwirtschaft, Konjunktur, Aktienmarkte, Weltwirtschaft, Wirtschaftspolitik, Umwelt und Wachstum, Binnenmarkt Europa / by Peter Hohenemser. - Orig. ed. - Munchen : Heyne, 1993. - 407 p. ; 19 cm. - (Heyne-Bücher : 22, Heyne-Kompaktwissen ; 318). - ISBN 3-453-06353-8 : DM 18.90

This handbook of economic terms, with 36 alphabetically arranged articles and a comprehensive keyword index, is also useful as a subject dictionary. Primarily intended for the layperson, the book contains strong references to current economic events, illustrations for each article, and review questions at the end. The book offers figures and explains relationships as well as defining concepts. [lf/mm]

95-2-258

Lexikon Wirtschaftspolitik [Dictionary of Economic Policy]: die Institutionen / ed. by Wolfgang Bohling ... - Orig. ed. - München : Beck, 1986. - 236 p. ; 18 cm. - (Beck'sche schwarze Reihe ; 310). - ISBN 3-406- 31302-7

Institutions and institutional groups involved in economic policymaking in Germany are described in 57 articles, with bibliographic references and a keyword index. Jurisdictions at the national and local levels are explained in an introductory essay. Overall this is a well-rounded representation of the key players in German economic policy. [lf/mm]]

Gabler-Kompakt-Lexikon Umwelt- und Wirtschaftspolitik [Gabler Compact Dictionary of Environmental and Economic Policy]: 2800 Begriffe nachschlagen, verstehen, anwenden / Michael Olsson; Dirk Piekenbrock. - Wiesbaden : Gabler, 1993. - VIII, 396 p.; 19 cm. - ISBN 3-409-19981-0 : DM 34.00

This work contains some 2800 keywords and references from both environmental and economic policy. Purely technical scientific terms have been left out of the environmental portion, and only fundamental terms are covered in the economics section. Brief keyword entries are included. There are no bibliographical references or survey articles. While a dictionary on environmental terminology is a welcome contribution, the economic terms are neither particularly useful nor related clearly to environmental policy. [lf/mm]]

Deutsch-deutsches Wirtschaftslexikon Volkswirtschaft [German-German Dictionary of Political Economics] / by Günther Flemming und Alfred Keck. - Stuttgart : Deutscher Sparkassenverlag, 1990. - 132 p. ; 21 cm. - (Sparkassen, Praxis, Wissen). - ISBN 3-09-30732-2 : DM 32.00

In this unusual work, approximately 100 economic terms each from the east and west of Germany are contrasted. The western terms are based on Flemming's Fachbegriffe der Volkswirtschaft (95-2- 255 above), with Alfred Keck apparently responsible for the eastern terms. The comparison is interesting, but with the relative undesirability of eastern terms in light of political developments and the narrow focus of this work, its usefulness as a handbook as well as a dictionary is questionable. [lf/mm]

95-2-261

Taschenlexikon Marktwirtschaft Volkswirtschaft [Pocket Dictionary of Marketing and Political Economics] : TLM / ed.: Karl-Heinz Reu_ ... - Berlin ; München : Verlag Die Wirtschaft, 1992. - 310 p. ; 18 cm. - ISBN 3-349- 00915-8 : DM 38.00

The sixth in the series in political economy, Taschenlexikon Marktwirtschaft: TLM, this is a general reference work intended mostly for the layperson, and particularly to aid the new German states in their adjustment to a market economy. About 800 terms in all areas of economics are covered succinctly. With its strong references to business, this book distinguishes itself from the other economic dictionary in being better suited for use as a general business dictionary. [lf/mm]

95-2-262

Volkswirtschaftliches Lexikon f&uumllr Jedermann [Economic Dictionary for Everyone]/ by Ludwig Stadelmann. - Alberschwende : Verlag Neues Leben, 1988. - 48 p. ; 21 cm. - ISBN 3-85335-041-0 : DM 6.00

A few arbitrary terms are described in general and formulaic terms. This book is not recommended for use as a dictionary. [lf/mm]
