In the lecture series entitled "Deutsche Rede", the speakers present their positions on the economy, culture, politics and society in Germany. The series is organised by the Schloss Neuhardenberg Foundation and recorded and broadcast live by DeutschlandRadio Berlin. The presentations are both the commencement and climax of a programming week of DeutschlandRadio Berlin in which more than 70 individual contributions examine and discuss the relevant issue of the week.
The label "Kathedersozialisten" (socialists of the chair) was assigned derogatorily to the German professors of economics who laid the foundations for Bismarck’s social reforms. In 1873, these economists founded the Verein für Socialpolitik, which in the course of time became the prominent organisation of German-speaking economists. Hans-Werner Sinn was chairman of the Verein für Socialpolitik from 1997 to 2000.
