Money Creators: Financial History for Finance Professionals

May 24 @ 10:30 am - 11:45 am

May 24, 10:30 am – 11:45 am
Robertson Hall, Bowl 001

We are told that the new finance of crypto and central-bank digital currency is not beholden to old rules. Financial history tells us something different: We have been here before. Our contemporary financial revolution is just a new mix of some of the oldest ideas of shared ledgers, tradable liabilities and assets in the form of a promise to pay. Financial history can help decision-makers understand where new products borrow from long-standing institutions — and spot old risks in new clothing. 

Moderator: Tiger Gao ’21, technology investor, Apax Digital.

Speakers: Harold James, Claude and Lore Kelly Professor in European Studies; Sean Vanatta *18, senior lecturer in financial history and policy, University of Glasgow; Brendan Greeley *27, Ph.D. candidate, Department of History

Sponsored by the Julis-Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy and Finance
