Economics & Business

Convenor: Andreas Wasmuht    

 

Co-Convenor: Trevor Johnson

 

The Economics and Business Group at BRLSI endeavours to provide time for thought and reflection on many of the major questions of our time, both in the form lectures by eminent speakers and through lively discussion on the major economic issues of the day.

The old Chinese curse, 'May you live in interesting times', seems apt for the unprecedented economic times in which we live. We look forward to welcoming you to our evenings of economic and business exploration.

 

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Business & Economics programme continues digitally on the BRLSI website and YouTube Channel.
