Exploring Markets and Society — Fall 2024

The theme for the fall 2024 reading program is Exploring Markets and Society. The program will engage discussions that offer a unique chance to understand the underpinnings of economic thought and its relevance to societal, political, and policy-related issues.  

Participants will read and discuss a curated selection of authors that address fundamental questions at the heart of political economy. It will provide an invitation to critically engage with ideas shaping our understanding of the world, encouraging a deeper comprehension of the forces at play in today's global landscape.
