About Thilo Sarrazin

Thilo Sarrazin is a German former politician, economist and author. A longtime SPD civil servant, Sarrazin was Berlin's appointed Senator for Finance from 2002 to 2009. He rose to greater prominence in 2010, when he published Deutschland schafft sich ab, a critique of Germany's post-war immigration policy and multiculturalism. The book was an unexpected bestseller, but was condemned by the SPD, which succeeded in expelling him in 2020, after a drawn-out legal battle. Since the release of Germany Abolishes Itself, Sarrazin has written several books concerning immigration and politics.
