The Schwartz Center Lecture Series
The Schwartz Center Lecture Series consists of two annual lectures: The Irene
& Bernard L. Schwartz Lecture and The Robert Heilbroner Memorial Lecture on the Future of Capitalism. The Schwartz lecture is designed to contribute to
and influence the debate over crucial policy issues facing the U.S.
and world economies by bringing a distinguished speaker or panel
to address the University. Past speakers have included Paul Krugman,
Robert Rubin Amartya Sen, and Laura Tyson. The Heilbroner Memorial Lecture is an annual lecture in Heilbroner’s memory that focuses on capitalism’s future. Last year's lecture featured James K. Galbraith.
On occasion, the Center also hosts special lectures. For information on special events, please check our website regularly.
Heilbroner Memorial Lecture
Sanford Jacoby, Professor of Management, Public Policy, & History - UCLA
Finance and Labor: Perspectives on Risk, Inequality, and Democracy
Join us for the fifth annual Robert Heilbroner Memorial Lecture. Heilbroner wrote, “Capitalism’s uniqueness in history lies in its continuously self-generated change, but it is this very dynamism that is the system’s chief enemy.” It is in appreciation of what he identified as “the deep human need to be situated with respect to the future” that The New School sponsors a lecture series in Heilbroner’s memory that focuses on capitalism’s future. This year we will host Sanford Jacoby, Howard Noble Professor of Management at UCLA Anderson School of Management. His address is “Labor and Finance: Perspectives on Risk, Inequality, and Democracy” which refers to Polyani’s notion of a “double movement” and the link between financial development and rising income inequality and employment risk. Professor Jacoby is an historian and economist. The talk will be followed by a panel discussion.
