    Economy 2.0: Roundtable #2


    Josh Sidman hosts Willem BuiterAhmed Anwar and Felix Fuders for a roundtable discussion on interest. Sign up and join the conversation live via Zoom.

    Interest has been a controversial subject since ancient times, drawing censure from all of the world’s major religions as well as important thinkers including Aristotle. But why does interest exist in the first place? Why does money have the power to grow? A number of different theories exist which attribute the existence of interest to such diverse causes as the fertility of nature, the productivity of capital, human nature, or a basic design flaw in our form of money. The panel consists of three distinguished economists who have written and taught on the subject of interest. Join us for an in-depth discussion of the causes and consequences of interest.

    Robert Morris: His Fight Against Localism in Revolutionary America


    The origin story of the United States of America is filled with numerous twists and turns. The fact that the people and leaders of the 13 British colonies managed to earn their independence from the 18th century’s most powerful naval and land power was anything but certain. However, winning independence required an army and a navy, as well as the capacity to provide all the goods necessary to match the enemy. In this lecture series, we present and discuss the role of Robert Morris, an American patriot who made it his life mission to coordinate and mobilize resources even when cooperation among the 13 States was difficult.

    Instructor: Edward J. Dodson
