Topic

How Ideas Matter, Art Carden's interview with Deirdre McCloskey

Description

The Great Enrichment is easily the most important secular event in history, but what makes us think that it was because of changes in ideas and rhetoric rather than material causes and exploitation? This interview will explore how ideas matter for long-run economic change as well as how we know ideas matter.

This webinar will include a 30-minute presentation followed by a 15-minute question and answer period where attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the presenter.

Upon completion of the webinar, attendees who complete the follow-up survey will receive a completion certificate that can be used to bolster their professional portfolio or LinkedIn profile, a $10 Amazon gift card to purchase books, and a chance to win one of our $25 Uber Eats gift cards.
