Lederer’s brief review commends the expanded scope and legislative currency of Manes’s handbook. It maps the book’s structure: a general part, treatment of the three principal branches of workers’ insurance, and a section on survivors’, salaried employees’, and unemployment insurance, together with further proposals for expansion. Its central evaluative move is to connect this broader coverage with attention to current developments and pending legislation:
Die vorliegende, erweiterte Ausgabe der »Arbeiterversicherung« des Verfassers in derselben Sammlung enthält neben einem allgemeinen Teil und den speziellen Ausführungen über die drei großen Zweige der Arbeiterversicherung einen besonderen Abschnitt über Witwen- und Waisenversicherung, Angestelltenversicherung, Arbeitslosenversicherung und sonstige Ausdehnungsbestrebungen, wobei stets auch schon die jüngste Entwicklung berücksichtigt erscheint, ferner instruktive, übersichtliche Ausführungen über die wichtigsten Bestimmungen im Entwurf der Reichsversicherungsordnung, die besonders willkommen sein dürften.
English translation: The present enlarged edition of the author's "Workers' Insurance" in the same series contains, besides a general part and the special discussions of the three great branches of workers' insurance, a separate section on widows' and orphans' insurance, salaried employees' insurance, unemployment insurance and other efforts at extension, in which the most recent development too always appears to be taken into account, and further instructive, clearly arranged discussions of the most important provisions in the draft of the Imperial Insurance Code, which are likely to be particularly welcome.
Lederer particularly welcomes the clear account of the draft Reich Insurance Code. The review’s significance lies in this concise endorsement of an introduction that follows social insurance beyond its established branches into new constituencies and risks; it offers no sustained theoretical argument.
