[Title Page and Publication Details]: The title page of the work, identifying Eugen von Philippovich as the author and providing publication details from 1915 in Leipzig. [Preface to the First and Second Editions]: Philippovich outlines the history of the proposal for a customs union between Austria-Hungary and Germany, referencing discussions from 1900 and the influence of earlier thinkers like Bruck. He argues that the isolation caused by World War I makes economic cooperation more necessary than ever. [Chapter I: Historical Development of Austrian Customs Policy]: A historical analysis of Austrian trade policy from Maria Theresa to the mid-19th century. It details the struggle between the rigid prohibitive system favored by Emperors Francis and Ferdinand and the efforts of Metternich to align Austria with the German Zollverein, which was ultimately hindered by bureaucratic inertia and industrial fears. [Chapter II: The Failure of Austro-German Economic Union (1848-1866)]: This section examines the mid-19th-century attempts by Bruck and others to integrate Austria into a Central European economic bloc. It details the diplomatic friction with Prussia, the impact of the 1853 February Treaty, and how Bismarck's political goals eventually led to the exclusion of Austria from the German economic sphere in favor of Prussian hegemony. [Chapter III: Economic Growth and Industrialization in Austria-Hungary]: Philippovich provides a detailed statistical overview of the Austro-Hungarian economy's growth between 1882 and 1912. He discusses increases in coal and iron production, the expansion of the banking sector, and the challenges posed by high corporate taxes and infrastructure costs compared to Germany, while highlighting the strength of Austrian technical education and arts and crafts. [Chapter IV: Trade Balance and Proposals for a Future Customs Union]: The final section analyzes the trade balance between Austria-Hungary and Germany, noting a significant deficit in industrial goods. Philippovich proposes a gradual transition to a customs union, suggesting that while some Austrian industries still require protection, a unified Central European market would strengthen both nations' influence, particularly in the Orient.

Hirzel, including books on the war, alpine guides, and health, followed by library stamps and a list of titles in the 'Zwischen Krieg und Frieden' series.
