We are delighted to welcome Ulrike Herrmann, one of Germany’s most distinguished business journalists, to re.comm 25. For many years, Herrmann has been analyzing political and economic events as a business correspondent for the taz – pointed, fact-rich and opinionated.
She has had a varied career: a trained bank clerk, she studied history and philosophy, worked at the Körber Foundation and acted as press spokesperson for Hamburg’s Senator for Equal Opportunities, Krista Sager. Influenced by her middle-class background in Hamburg, she takes a critical view of social justice and economic power structures.
Herrmann is known for presenting complex economic contexts in an understandable way – including in her highly acclaimed books on growth criticism and climate policy. She has received numerous awards for her work; the FAZ newspaper praised her as the “voice of economic reason from the left”.
On stage at re.comm 25, Ulrike Herrmann will focus on the big questions of our economic system: How much growth does our society need – or can it tolerate? What role does social justice play in times of global upheaval? Take this opportunity to experience one of the most incisive voices in German-language business journalism live.
