»BUDDENBROOKS GESTERN & HEUTE« ÖKONOMIE & LITERATUR IM DIALOG

In the organizer's words:

Panel discussion with Sabine Herold, Philipp Oehmke, Iuditha Balint & Clemens Fuest
Moderator: Christine Bergmann(BR)

In Thomas Mann's famous novel, the young Hanno Buddenbrook, the family's last heir, draws a line under the chronicle of the once flourishing traditional house. Is the classic family business an obsolete model or - on the contrary - a signpost for an economically sustainable future? Clemens Fuest, President of the ifo Institute for Economic Research, discusses with: Sabine Herold, managing partner of "DELO Industrie Klebstoffe" together with husband Wolf since a management buy-out in 1998; Iuditha Balint, director of the Fritz Hüser Institute with a research focus on the connection between literature and economics; and Philipp Oehmke, whose acclaimed novel "Schönwald" (Piper) explores the dynamics in a German family - 122 years after the "Buddenbrooks".
