It is far too early to write the history of the pandemic or to gauge its social consequences. But it is time for the first explorations, for test drilling, as carried out in the fifteen essays of this thematic booklet on History and Society. How does the relationship between closeness and distance change, what does the crisis mean for the state, for democracy and civil rights, for social policy and social inequality? How are the weights shifting in Europe, and which global experiences and upheavals should we consider, from China to Latin America? Historians are experts not only for the past, but also for the course of time, for crisis-ridden transformations, for the tension between breaks and continuities. The renowned authors write with their technical competence, empirically founded and strong in theses. At the same time, they reveal themselves as committed contemporary witnesses: within a great shock: That is what makes this band so special.

Geboren 1838, gestorben 1917: Schon die Lebensdaten Gustav Schmollers legen es nahe, von seiner Person ausgehend das Kaiserreich zu erkunden. Die Revolution von 1848 als Kindheitserinnerung, die Nationsbildung als Feld erster eigener politischer Betätigung, in den Gründerjahren die Karriere als Kathedersozialist und um 1880 ein saturiertes Ankommen als Ordinarius in der Hauptstadtelite. Jens Herold zeichnet auf breiter Quellenbasis den Werdegang des jungen Schmoller sowie sein Wirken bis zu seiner Berufung nach Berlin 1881 nach.

Text in German. History and Society has been the journal for historical social science for thirty years. On this occasion, current and previous editors discuss the future of social history in an international context. Some contributions take a look at classic topics of social history, others reformulate the foundations of a history of social structures and practices after the "cultural turn" and in view of the challenge posed by a global view of history. A third group deals with the relationship to neighboring disciplines of historical studies, especially political science and economics. Finally, a fourth focus of the volume is on state development and social change in the Federal Republic of Germany.
