An Evening with Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Peace Prize winner, former Chief Economist at the World Bank and Professor of the Columbia Business School
Tuesday 9th February 6:30pm, Kensington

We are delighted that through our strategic partners Intelligence Squared we are able to offer our members a very limited number of seats at what will be a truly fascinating and informative interview by Evan Davis from BBC’s Today Programme. 

In this interview Joseph Stiglitz will be discussing his new book "FREEFALL: Free Markets and the Sinking of the Global Economy", a whoddunit account of how America exported bad economics, bad policies, and bad behaviour to the rest of the world, only to cobble together a haphazard and ineffective response when the markets finally seized up. Stiglitz will outline his remedies for the future, building on ideas that he has championed his entire career: restoring the balance between markets and government, addressing the inequalities of the global financial system, and demanding more good ideas (and less ideology) from economists.  Doors open at 6:15 pm. The interview starts at 7:00 pm and finishes at 8:30 pm.
