SALON LUITPOLD | Abstieg oder Aufbruch in Deutschland? | Die Bestsellerautoren Mathias Hüttenrauch und Benedikt Ötting im Gespräch

In the organizer's words:

Descent or awakening? Why personal responsibility is now the decisive factor.

Together with Mathias Hüttenrauch and Benedikt Ötting, the focus is on a question that is currently preoccupying Germany more than ever. Are we threatened with decline - or will we succeed in making a new start?

With their SPIEGEL bestseller "Abstieg", the two authors have presented an unsparing analysis showing why Germany has lost its balance, is losing its creative power and is increasingly in danger of slipping into global insignificance. One year later, it is clear that despite the new government, the key challenges remain unresolved.

The causes are known, the problems clearly identified - and yet they have not been implemented. What is needed now to finally turn the diagnosis into action? According to the authors, it is personal responsibility and courage. They are the key to a new agenda, to social change and to regaining future viability.

You can look forward to an evening full of food for thought and outlooks that will address the question of how we can get back into action and why personal responsibility now makes all the difference.
