Blunders before and during the crisis
In this lecture on “Economics After the Crisis”, Prof. Wyplosz will raise the question as to whether the economy will develop in a way similar to the global depression of the 1930s. Moreover, he will speak about blunders before and during the crisis and about the substantial implications that resulted from them for the field of finance theory, as well as elucidating the less serious consequences for economics.
