Nate joins us to present a new paradigm of politics and power that will shape the world for decades to come. This power belongs to a new class of professional risk-takers – including VCs, gamblers, tech moguls like Elon Musk and Sam Altman, and crypto-kings like Sam Bankman-Fried. This class, which Silver calls “The River”, drive progress: but they can also cause chaos.

Stiglitz believes unbridled capitalism reduces economic opportunities, siphons wealth from the many to the few, and impacts our legal and social freedoms – from property and intellectual rights to education to social media. He will share a new vision of true human flourishing, offering an alternative to the neoliberal consensus and a powerful re-evaluation of democracy, economics, and the good society – along with a roadmap for how we can achieve it.

Widely anticipated to become the first ever female Chancellor the Exchequer, Rachel joins Financial Times economics columnist Soumaya Keynes to outline her vision for the future of the economy: a future in which productivity is enhanced, growth is sustainable and there are opportunities for all, not just a few at the top (in collaboration with How to Academy).

For more than forty years Nobel laureate, bestselling economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has fought for a fair, just and liberal future.

At this evening event hosted by How to: Academy and The New York Times, Krugman, a former professor at LSE, Princeton, Yale and MIT, perhaps the world’s leading theorist of international trade relations, will present his insights into the economics driving our public policy decisions.

Drawing on the ideas in his new book, Arguing with Zombies, Krugman will debunk the economic myths and lies that cloud political debate, bringing his insight to bear on major issues from the housing bubble to the financial crisis, Brexit to the EU.
