Roland Tichy (born 11 November 1955 in Bad Reichenhall) is a German author, economist and journalist.
His positions include the relativization of man-made climate change,[1] critizism about left-wing networks.[2]
Tichy studied economics and communication science in Munich and in New Orleans. After university he was hired as an assistant at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. From 1983 to 1985, he worked at the German Chancellery for Helmut Kohl. In the 1990s, Tichy joined the German company Daimler-Benz in the department of corporate issues management.
Tichy was editor-in-chief of the German magazines Impulse (1991–1995), Euro (2002–2007) and Wirtschaftswoche (2007–2014).[3] In 2014 he became the CEO of the Ludwig Erhard Foundation and, since 2016, he has been the publisher of the monthly magazine Tichys Einblick.[4] Tichy is a member of the neoliberal Mont Pelerin Society. He is married to Andrea Tichy.
In the spring of 2017, Tichy took part in a campaign initiated by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) to denigrate the former bishop Margot Käßmann as a "racist".[5] A quote from Käßmann, which was falsified by omissions, was used for this purpose.[6]
