Too often, the economy is perceived only as a result of anonymously controlled capital flows. However, patriarchal founders still shape corporations, brands and labor markets. In Germany, hardly one other is as well known as Reinhold Würth, who turns eighty in spring 2015.
In numerous, sometimes very personal conversations with Claus Detjen, entrepreneur and private man Reinhold Würth provides insights into his life and thoughts. He proves to be a liberal homo economicus guided by his successes. He turned away from the FDP because of disappointment and is convinced that he is calling for financial compensation in the EU. With his cultural commitment as art collector and patron, he pledges to uphold the social responsibility of property.
In his Group, he is omnipresent-demanding performance-even though he has handed over business management. He sees the lifelong obligation for the continuity of the company, the safeguarding of jobs and the preservation of family ownership.
