Talks
The Betty Behrens Seminar on Classics of Historiography
Paul Seaward on "The History of the Rebellion" by Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon
Meet the professor: Barry Eichengreen
Tue 14 April 2015
Trinity College
As part of the Cambridge Literary Festival Visiting Berkeley Professor of Economics, Barry Eichengreen, talks about his book, Hall of Mirrors: The Great Depression, The Great Recession, and the Uses – and Misuses – of History. Our Professor argues that lessons of the past may have been applied too literally and a wiser response will be needed if a third great financial crisis is to be avoided.
‘Hall of Mirrors is destined to change the way we think about both the Great Depression and the Great Recession. Commentators and scholars will debate its thesis for many years to come.’ FT
