An anniversary publication has been published in honour of Professor Charl Francois Hugo on the occasion of his 65th birthday in July 2022 and his well-deserved retirement. The "Festschrift" is available online on the website of the Potchefstroomse Elektroniese Regstydskrif (PER) / Potchefstroom Electronic Law Journal (PELJ), which publishes it as a special edition for Charl Hugo. Professor Möllers' contribution deals with comparative law, which promises to increase knowledge. Looking at other legal systems enables a more differentiated understanding of the rules of one's own country. While comparative law traditionally starts from a concrete problem, this contribution will examine why legal views often differ greatly from country to country. The following article compares three major economic powers: the United States, the People's Republic of China and the Federal Republic of Germany. It looks at the differences between a liberal and a social market economy and the role of the constitution in society. Finally, the question of when different concepts of justice can converge is explored.
