Now as Prime Minister she must not only make a definitive decision about where human rights fit in her vision of Britain but also whether they can have any place at all in light of the need to reconstruct Brexit Britain. Is this another piece of European clutter than needs now to be thrown out? Does the Human Rights Act get ...

Date: Tuesday 10 May 2016 Time: 10-11.30am Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building Speaker: Dr Raghuram Rajan Chair: Professor Erik Berglof The global financial crisis has shaken up the international financial architecture. Regulatory changes and unconventional monetary policies have mainly served the interests of advanced economies. Raghuram Rajan, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, has been the main voice of emerging economies demanding a more balanced global monetary system. He would like to see more coordination to reduce volatility and a more effective “global safety net” to protect those most vulnerable. Emerging economies must be more involved in rethinking and reshaping the system. Dr Rajan assumed charge as the 23rd Governor of the Reserve Bank of India on September 4th 2013. Raja...
Speaker: Professor Joseph E Stiglitz Why has inequality increased in the Western world and what can we do about it? In this new book, The Great Divide, which he will talk about in this public lecture, Joseph E. Stiglitz expands on the diagnosis he offered in his best-selling book The Price of Inequality and suggests ways to counter this growing problem. Stiglitz argues that inequality is a choice: the cumulative result of unjust policies and misguided priorities. Ultimately, Stiglitz believes our choice is not between growth and fairness; with the right policies, we can choose both. Joseph Stiglitz (@JosephEStiglitz) was Chief Economist at the World Bank until January 2000. He is currently University Professor of the Columbia Business School, and Chair of the Management Board and Directo...
Date: Wednesday 1 June 2016 Time: 6.30-8pm Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building Speaker: Professor Richard H Thaler Chair: Professor Craig Calhoun Richard Thaler, described by The Spectator as ‘the godfather of behavioural economics’, will be in conversation with LSE Director Craig Calhoun about his book Misbehaving, an authoritative and entertaining history of behavioural economics. Richard Thaler has spent his career studying the radical notion that the central agents in the economy are humans—predictable, error-prone individuals. Traditional economics assumes rational actors. Early in his research, Thaler realized these Spock-like automatons were nothing like real people. Whether buying an alarm clock, selling football tickets, or applying for a mortgage, we all succumb to biases and ma...
The world is a better place than it used to be. People are wealthier and healthier, and live longer lives. Yet the escapes from destitution by so many have left gaping inequalities between people and between nations. In this lecture Angus Deaton (one of the foremost experts on economic development and on poverty) tells the remarkable story of how, starting two hundred and fifty years ago, some parts of the world began to experience sustained progress, opening up gaps and setting the stage for today's hugely unequal world. Deaton takes an in-depth look at the historical and ongoing patterns behind the health and wealth of nations, and he addresses what needs to be done to help those left behind. Angus Deaton is the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professor of Economics and International Affairs in th...
This is a recording of the debate hosted by the LSE Economic History Department, in collaboration with the LSESU Economic History Society and the LSESU Economics Society. http://lsesueconomichistory.co.uk/ http://lsesueconomicssociety.com/ Speakers: Proposition Team - Lord Robert Skidelsky & Dr. Ha-Joon Chang Opposition Team - Prof. Steve Pisckhe & Prof. Francesco Caselli Chair - Professor James Foreman-Peck The LSE is currently the only institution to have a separate EH department. We want to encourage students and academics alike to rethink the methodologies used to explain how our world works. Do we use the theoretical and econometrical method to create models with assumptions to distil the complexities of human nature and produce measurable results? Or do we use the historical p...

Loss mich falle wie Schnei
Blos mich wie en Fedder en d'r Wind
Loss mich falle wie d'r eetste Schnei
Janz leis
Streu' mich wie Stäne en de Nach
Loss mich föhle wie am eetste Dach
Un met Mondlech deck mich zo
Komm deck mich zo
Ich setz et Sejel für en lange Reis'
Ich well fahre für en Iwigkeit
Loss mich drieve op däm lange Wäch
Wohin d'r Wind mich drät
Loss mich falle wie Schnei
Blos mich wie en Fedder en d'r Wind
Loss mich falle wie d'r eetste Schnei

Hüre Leeder die d'r Wind verzällt
Treck' met de Wolke hu am Firmament
Un ich verklinge wie e Woot vun Dir
D'r Himmel es e Deil vun mir
Streu' mich wie Stäne en de Nach
Loss mich föhle wie am eetste Dach
Un met Mondlech deck mich zo
Komm deck mich zo
