Humanities scholars sit in ivory towers and think about problems that are irrelevant in “real life”? Business bosses have to make quick decisions without hesitation? In “Money and Spirit” by Dr. Rebekka Reinhard, both sides enter into a dialogue. A book presentation.
At the latest since the “turn of the era” the assessments mentioned above have become passé. Economy and companies have recognized: In unusual times, top leaders need unusual perspectives in order to be able to make good, sustainable decisions. When the humanities and business enter into dialogue with each other, both can benefit and both can learn from each other.
Science and business in exchange
In this volume, renowned scientists and well-known practitioners from business discuss how we can jointly master the socio-political and economic challenges that have been exacerbated by the corona pandemic and the war of aggression against Ukraine. Markus Gabriel and Alexander Doll, Richard David Precht and Joe Kaeser, Armin Nassehi and Steffen Kampeter as well as Ute Frevert and Julia Jäkel talk and argue. It’s about freedom and global competition, digitization, the relevance of the humanities, the role of culture and education – and what values business and society really need today.
Among all participating lounge ladies we are giving away a total of five copies of “Money and Spirit”. Click here for the raffle.
