Coe From Your Couch: COVID, the Economy, and Keynes
The economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been disastrous. Estimated unemployment figures are quickly approaching 30 million, with the unemployment rate heading toward Great Depression levels. It seems appropriate then, to revisit the most influential economics book of the 20th Century, The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money, written by John Maynard Keynes in 1936. Dr. Drew Westberg, Assistant Professor of Economics, will walk through this text and focus on the essential lessons from this great work. The webinar will conclude with a discussion that relates Keynes’ work to the COVID economy.
If you'd like to read the book prior to the webinar, you can read it online for free here.
It is also available for purchase on Kindle ($0.99) or on Amazon ($12-$25).
