Louis Dembitz Brandeis Bücher
Louis D. Brandeis war ein amerikanischer Anwalt und progressiver Sozialreformer, bekannt als „Anwalt des Volkes“ für seine unentgeltliche öffentliche Arbeit. Seine Arbeit an progressiven sozialen Anliegen führte zur Entwicklung des Konzepts des „Rechts auf Privatsphäre“ und zu seinem Kampf gegen mächtige Unternehmen und Monopole, die er als schädlich für amerikanische Werte ansah. Brandeis setzte sich vehement für Meinungsfreiheit und Datenschutzrechte ein und setzte damit bedeutende Präzedenzfälle im Rechtsbereich.
