The results of this project are summarized in this volume which provides both an explanation of how the project was conceptualized and executed and a detailed case study of a family and their business during the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It explains the development of both whilst addressing issues such as patriarchal succession; gender roles in the family; wealthy lifestyles in international communities of aristocrats and diplomats; operating across national legislation, institutions, and policies; and discussions of labor and capital. In doing so it connects corporate and family history to provide an all-inclusive view of the development of a business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tForeword to the English-Language Edition\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eVolker Berghahn\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tForeword\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \tPoint of Departure: The Thyssen Legacy\u003cbr\u003e \tElements of an Entangled Family and Corporate History\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: Family-History Projects: Selected Findings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.
