Das vorliegende Buch widmet sich der Frage, was die Literatur über das Ökonomische weiß. Zu Zeiten, in denen wohl zu Recht allenthalben behauptet wird, unsere Gesellschaft und mithin das Leben jedes Einzelnen sei zunehmend vom Ökonomischen bestimmt, ist diese Frage in besonderer Weise relevant: umso mehr, als es oft bei dieser Behauptung bleibt und darüber hinaus nicht in den Blick gerät, wie die Rede von der 'Ökonomisierung' eigentlich funktioniert, welchen Wertehaushalt sie ihrerseits etabliert und wo in historischer Hinsicht ihre Anfänge zu vermuten sind. Die Literatur weiß hier Abhilfe zu schaffen: Spätestens seit Beginn der Frühen Neuzeit gibt sie Aufschluss darüber, wie die Subjekte, Medien und Modalitäten ökonomischen Handelns zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten bedacht und zur Sprache gebracht werden – vor allem da, wo (wie vor dem 18. Jahrhundert) noch kein systematisches Wissen über die Wirtschaft der Gesellschaft verfügbar ist, aber auch da, wo (wie vom 18. Jahrhundert bis heute) die Volks- und Betriebswirtschaftslehren offensichtlich an ökonomischen Tendenzen des Gesamtzusammenhangs wie an den Erfahrungen und Befindlichkeiten Einzelner regelmäßig vorbei gehen.

War reporting has made a massive impression on the public not only in how wars are fought but why they are fought. The ability of the public to ?see? what is happening at the front changed the public?s attitude to war in very many respects and even where a war may be ?popular? the involvement of the press led to criticisms that have changed war almost in equal measure to the changes brought about by weapons technology. The book will be a compilation of historical and contemporary stories of the war correspondent and battlefield photographer from the earliest days of modern war reporting to the present. It will seek to determine the changes in style, method and practice of the work of the war correspondent and examine the changes in attitudes to, and how the public view war from the high point of imperialism to the present day jihad. This book will be of interest to journalists, academics, students and in general history. By mixing historical analysis with contributions from modern war reporters it will analyse such subjects as the role of propaganda in winning over the public to support wars of aggression, the portrayal of war as entertainment, the use of technology in war reporting and the lives, and sadly often the deaths of those who take on this most dangerous and disturbing vocation. Since modern war reporting commenced following the inventions of the electric telegraph and the camera there have been many different approaches to how the news should be brought to the reader and later the listener and viewer
