Anniversary Publicaton in honour of Professor Charl Francois Hugo
22.12.2022
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.
