LSE Summer School lecture
Date: Thursday 30 July 2009
Time: 5.30pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speaker: Professor Andrew Gamble
Professor Andrew Gamble made his early reputation writing on British decline, the theory of Marxism and the rise and fall of that long-debated and most controversial political phenomenon in Britain: Margaret Thatcher and 'Thatcherism'. One of the most incisive analysts of British politics with over twenty books - and a raft of prizes to his name – he reflects here on the deeper causes of the current world economic crisis and why the crisis has been especially acute in the Anglo-American world. This public lecture is timed to coincide with the publication of his long-waited new book – The Spectre at the Feast: Capitalist Crisis and the Politics of Recession - and promises to be a memorable one.
