Ulrike Herrmann

Description

Ulrike Hermann is one of the most prominent voices in the economic policy debate in Germany. The taz economic correspondent and bestselling author presents her new book "Money as a Weapon. How the Economy Decides Over War and Peace." In it, she shows how financial markets, trade relations, and geo-economic power struggles shape our present — from Putin's Russia to conflicts over China, the USA, and Europe. What role do money, debts, and economic dependencies play in modern wars, and what consequences does this have for democratic societies and their scope for action? In the subsequent panel discussion, Ulrike Herrmann discusses with Timo Sadovnik, director of Burghof, and the audience the central theses of her book and their significance for our understanding of politics, the public, and social cohesion — also considering potential impacts on the cultural sector. Moderation: Timo Sadovnik
