Reference excerpt

Roland Tichy (born 11 November 1955 in Bad Reichenhall) is a German author, economist and journalist. He is publisher of conservative populistic magazine Tichys Einblick. His positions include the relativization of man-made climate change and criticism about left-wing networks.

Life Tichy studied economics, politics and communication science at LMU Munich. After his studies, he was hired as an assistant by the department of economics at LMU 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). 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. Tichy is a member of the neoliberal Mont Pelerin Society. He is married to Andrea Tichy. In 2021 Tichy started a talkshow called "Tichys Ausblick" referring to "Tichys Einblick" on the right-leaning private TV-channel TV.Berlin. To launch, Tichy invited two guests who are popular with his readership: the conservative GDR revisionist comedian Uwe Steimle and former CDU politician and former president of the BfV Hans-Georg Maaßen.

Controversies 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". A quote from Käßmann, which was falsified by omissions, was used for this purpose.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Roland Tichy

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Roland Tichy claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Roland Tichy before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Roland Tichy ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Roland Tichy

In research: Roland Tichy appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Roland Tichy in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Roland Tichy is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1955 births, 20th-century German economists, 20th-century German journalists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Roland Tichy outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
