Daniel Stähr, born in 1990 in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, is an economist, essayist and freelance author. He regularly contributes to Deutschlandfunk Kultur, ZEIT, taz and FAS. S. FISCHER recently published "Die Sprache des Kapitalismus" (2024, with Simon Sahner), which was awarded the Readers' Prize of the German Business Book Award.
