Ulrike Herrmann in Bochum: When Economics Becomes a Question of Power

With Money as a Weapon: How the Economy Decides War and Peace, Ulrike Herrmann brings one of the most urgent questions of our time to the forefront: How closely are war, peace, and economic interests intertwined? The reading at the Protestant City Academy Bochum combines political analysis, literary precision, and societal debate into a concentrated evening of contemporary literature in the broader sense.

An Evening for Attentive Readers

Herrmann's approach is clear, argumentative, and filled with great intellectual tension. Her book unveils the economic foundations of international conflicts without losing itself in buzzwords. Those expecting a reading that combines insight, discourse, and linguistic clarity will find here a literary experience with analytical depth.

Language Art That Makes Complex Relationships Tangible

The strength of this format lies in the combination of lecture and author encounter. Ulrike Herrmann, known for many years as an economic correspondent for the taz, brings a topic to the stage that often stagnates in the language of numbers and strategies. Especially live, the reading atmosphere unfolds: factual, sharp, intellectually stimulating, and open to questions from the audience.

A Place with Cultural Density

The Protestant City Academy Bochum is firmly rooted as a place of education in the city and stands for discussions about politics, society, and culture. The event space on Westring creates a setting where current world politics and local public affairs meet directly. The result is not merely a lecture, but an evening that brings together knowledge, attitude, and discourse.

What Visitors Can Expect

On October 13, 2026, the audience can expect a well-founded reading with discussion value, close to the central questions of the time. Anyone interested in non-fiction, political analysis, and literarily astute observations of the present should not miss this date in Bochum.
