Public Lecture – Greed and Avarice: The Speculation Bubble of 1720 and the First World Financial Crisis

Posted in Public Lecture, tagged , , , , , , , on January 23, 2010| 2 Comments »

On Tuesday, March 16th, within the framework of the lecture series “Linie 4”, a cooperation of the Bielefeld Graduate School in History and Sociology and the Volkshochschule Bielefeld, I will hold a public lecture.

Against the background of the current financial crisis, I will pose the question how cultural processes are used to cope with such shared experiences. As a contrast to the current situation, I will focus on the first world financial crisis ever, the so called South Sea and Mississippi Bubble of 1720.
