Podcast 30 - Marlene Engelhorn
Welcome to another episode of "Eiles and the Adventures of Life", the podcast that offers profound and inspiring conversations.
Today we have a very special guest: Marlene Engelhorn. She is currently the talk of the town because she has decided to generously distribute a large part of her inherited fortune. Together with Gert Kunze, she delves into the background to her decision, talks about her family history, the role of wealth in society and her vision of a fairer world.
Marlene Engelhorn talks about her upbringing in a wealthy industrial family, her conscious decision against a life of luxury and her motivation to promote social justice. She explains how the distribution of her wealth was organized, what role "good advice" played in this and why she believes that high wealth should be taxed more heavily. She also shares her thoughts on issues such as climate justice, social justice and the role of capital in our society.
A fascinating and educational conversation that is thought-provoking and shows how individual choices can drive social change.
