In-person location: ELEBASH RECITAL HALL
Paul Krugman, one of today’s leading economists, joins in a discussion with Zachary D. Carter, author of an award-winning biography of John Maynard Keynes, the great 20th-century thinker and father of macroeconomics, “whose enduring relevance is always heightened when crisis strikes” — The Wall Street Journal. What can the life and ideas of Keynes, who traveled from Bloomsbury group parties to the halls of power on two continents, teach us about today’s debates over government spending and inequality? Krugman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, longtime former columnist for The New York Times, and distinguished professor of Economics at the CUNY Graduate Center, helps to illuminate Keynes’ theories for today. He speaks with Carter, biographer, columnist at Slate, and a fellow at the Global Order at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Presented with the Leon Levy Center for Biography and the Graduate Center.
A video of this event will be posted a few days later on the Graduate Center YouTube Channel.
