No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
This talk compares the current crisis to the Great Depression and discussions after then. I discuss the cause, spread and recovery from each of the crises in turn. One of my themes comes from Marx: History repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.
