Ulrike Herrmann is an economic correspondent for the taz newspaper and also writes very successful books. Her most recent bestsellers are Kein Kapitalismus ist auch keine Lösung (No Capitalism Is Not a Solution Either) and Das Ende des Kapitalismus (The End of Capitalism).

After graduating from high school, the Hamburg native first completed a banking apprenticeship. It is possible that Loki Schmidt played a role in this decision, as the neighbour and wife of the future German Chancellor is said to have given Ulrike Herrmann her first maths problems at the garden fence.

The banking career was short-lived. Herrmann then graduated from the Henri Nannen School of Journalism and went on to study history and philosophy. Later, she also served as press spokesperson for Hamburg’s Senator for Equality.

As a journalist and author, Ulrike Herrmann has been a sought-after guest on political talk shows for years.

She most recently appeared as a presenter on the talk show Missverstehen Sie mich richtig (Misunderstand Me Correctly).
