About the Event:
At this event, hosted by the London Interdisciplinary School (LIS) and Minerva University's AI Consensus, Daniel Susskind will present his new book and explore the complexities of growth with our interdisciplinary panelists.
"For centuries economists have been preoccupied with the growth of nations. But the subject has proved elusive, and many mysteries remain." ~ Elhanan Helpman, The Mystery of Economic Growth
We’re excited to offer a platform for stimulating discussions, networking, and collaborative opportunities. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion at the intersection of economics, technology, and science, hosted by the 1763 initiative — a collaborative society founded by students from the Minerva University and the London Interdisciplinary School (LIS). This event is guided by the question, "What does growth mean in modern society and how can the up-and-coming generation of leaders step up and respond to the poly-crisis of our times?"
Refreshments and snacks will be provided! There will also be an opportunity to win cool prizes :)
