How Covid Shook the World's Economy
Author Series Soirée (2/3)
Monday, October 25th at 8pm Eastern Time

Adam Tooze, whose last book was universally lauded for guiding us coherently through the chaos of the 2008 crash, now brings his bravura analytical and narrative skills to a panoramic and synthetic overview of our current crisis. By focusing on finance and business, he sets the pandemic story in a frame that casts a sobering new light on how unprepared the world was to fight the crisis, and how deep the ruptures in our way of living and doing business are. The virus has attacked the economy with as much ferocity as it has our health, and there is no vaccine arriving to address that. 

Adam Tooze holds the Shelby Cullom Davis chair of History at Columbia University and serves as Director of the European Institute. In 2019, Foreign Policy magazine named him one of the top Global Thinkers of the decade.  Look out for Adam’s next books, Lockdown: The Economic History of the COVID Crisis coming to print in 2021, and Carbon, out in 2023. Check out Adam's website to stay up to date with Adam's latest journalism and interviews.
