Viribus Unitis: Wie Könnte Die Europäische Cultur Nach Bosnien Verpflanzt Werden?

A historical account written in the late 19th century. The book discusses the proposal of establishing a joint-stock company named “Zadruga” aimed at civilizing and economically developing Bosnia under Austro-Hungarian administration. It explores the legal, social, and financial justifications for such an endeavor, aiming to elevate the local population and integrate European culture within the region. The central theme of the book revolves around the establishment of the “Zadruga” company, which would assume control of significant portions of land in Bosnia for agricultural and industrial development. Neupauer outlines the structured governance and operational methods the company would utilize to enhance the living conditions of the local populace while also ensuring a profit for investors. Additionally, he argues for the expropriation of land from Muslim landowners to facilitate this civilizing mission, claiming that the region's backwardness can be transformed through effective administration and societal organization. The narrative combines economic theory with practical proposals, reflecting the attitudes and ideologies of its time regarding colonialism and development.
