Paul De Lagarde
Paul Anton de Lagarde (2 November 1827 – 22 December 1891) was a German biblical scholar and orientalist, sometimes regarded as one of the greatest orientalists of the 19th century. Lagarde's anti-Semitism, anti-Slavism, and aversion to traditional Christianity are viewed as having been among the most influential precursors of Nazism. Life and career Paul Bötticher was born in Berlin to Johann Friedrich Wilhelm and Luise Bötticher. His father was a philologist who taught languages at the Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium. 18-year old Luise died days after Paul was born.

Two maternal aunts nurtured Paul emotionally and financially. Ernestine de Lagarde was Luise's aunt, and she eventually adopted Paul. Bötticher attended Humboldt University of Berlin from 1844–6 where he studied Oriental languages, theology, and philosophy und ...

Protectionism
Protectionism, sometimes referred to as trade protectionism, is the economic policy of restricting imports from other countries through methods such as tariffs on imported goods, import quotas, and a variety of other government regulations. Proponents argue that protectionist policies shield the producers, businesses, and workers of the import-competing sector in the country from foreign competitors and raise government revenue. Opponents argue that protectionist policies reduce trade, and adversely affect consumers in general (by raising the cost of imported goods) as well as the producers and workers in export sectors, both in the country implementing protectionist policies and in the countries against which the protections are implemented. Protectionism has been advocated mainly by parties that hold economic nationalist positions, while economically liberal political parties generally support free trade. There is a consensus among economists that protectionism has a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
