The idea is the idea of growth

2 September 2016

The well-known economist Deirdre McCloskey, Professor at University of Illinois at Chicago, opened a seminar entitled The idea is the idea of growth.  McCloskey spoke about her book Bourgeois Equality: How Ideas, Not Capital or Institutions, Enriched the World. She explained that not economics but “humanomics” explains our riches. 

Bettina Kashefi, chief economist at the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, and Ola Pettersson, chief economist at the Swedish Trade Union Confederation, were included in the subsequent panel.
