Life

Henrik Müller studied economics at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel and did his doctorate with Thomas Straubhaar at the University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg (today Helmut Schmidt University ). He trained as an editor at the German School of Journalism in Munich. He gained his first editorial experience in 1990/91 as a reporter in the then existing editorial office of the “ Hamburger Morgenpost ” in Rostock. This was followed by editorial activities at the “ Deutsche Allgemeine Sonntagsblatt ” and “ Stern ”. In 2000, Müller switched to “ manager magazin", Where he was appointed managing editor in 2004 and deputy editor-in-chief in 2009. In October 2013 he took over the newly created professorship for economic journalism at the Technical University of Dortmund .

Journalistic focus

Since the mid-1990s, Müller has repeatedly dealt with the consequences of the monetary integration of Europe. A first book appeared on this in 1997, “Kursbuch Euro”. In 1999 his dissertation “Exchange rate policy of the Eurozone” and “Euro as a major power” followed. In 2002 he worked as a co-author on the “European Central Bank Handbook”, a guide for ECB watchers. His work "Blasting Device Inflation" from 2010 deals with the consequences of the financial crisis. In 2012, he presented a future concept for the monetary union with "Euro-Vision" (shortlist of the German Business Book Prize ). In 2014, a dispute between Müller and his colleague Walter Krämer was published as an e-book under the title “Does the Euro Still Have a Future?”.

In addition, Müller has dealt with a variety of other economic policy issues. In 2004 he analyzed common misjudgments in the debate about Germany as a location and globalization. In 2014 another book with a similar title was published with “Wirtschaftsirrtäne - 50 mistakes in thinking that cost us head and neck”, which in particular dissected the consequences of the financial crisis for economic thinking and action. In 2006 he published a study on the connection between national identity and economic prosperity "Economic factor patriotism ", in 2008 a future-oriented study on the interaction of demography, globalization and climate change "The Seven Scarcities".

Today Müller writes a weekly column for “ Spiegel Online ” (“Müller’s Memo”) and a monthly essay in the printed edition of “manager magazin”.

At the Dortmund Institute for Journalism, Müller heads the bachelor's degree in “Economic Journalism” and the master's degree in “Economics & Journalism”.
