Research, ideas, and leadership for a more secure, peaceful world
Ten years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Stanford University’s Niall Ferguson joins Harvard University’s Graham Allison to discuss the lessons of financial history.
Two months after Lehman Brothers’ 2008 collapse, Niall Ferguson published his international bestseller, The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World. Now, ten years later, financial history has only grown more relevant. Can we apply historical insights to avert or minimize another financial crisis?
Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and senior fellow at Harvard’s Center for European Studies, will join Graham Allison, Douglas Dillon Professor of Government, to discuss the lessons of financial history. Co-directors of the Applied History Project at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Ferguson and Allison will look at the history of global economics to unpack where we are, how we got here, and where we may be headed next.
This event is open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Tea and coffee will be provided.
