Auf dem Weg in den Verfassungsstaat. : Preußen und Österreich im Vergleich, 1740-1947.

How did Prussia and Austria reach modernity? Twelve historians from Germany, Austria and Italy present the two largest states of 18th and 19th century Germany with decisive aspects of their internal development: religion policies, municipal government, public finance, official statistics, parliamentary government and party politics, scientific research, trade, shipping and customs. While Prussia perished in the turmoil of Nazi imperialism, Austria survived to become a respected member of the international community.
