James Meade Memorial Lecture
Date: Thursday 14 June 2007
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speaker: Professor Paul Krugman
Chair: Professor John Van Reenen
Progressive free-traders - people who believe both in domestic equity and in the promise of globalisation - are feeling chastened these days. What's left of the case for globalisation? How can we make it work?
Paul Krugman is one of the world's most famous living economists. As a researcher he invented the 'new trade theory' and won the John Bates Clark Medal for the best American economist under 40. He is a prolific author and writes a twice weekly column in the New York Times. He holds a chair at Princeton.
