Will the generally good times for investors in risky assets such as equities from 1950-2020 repeat themselves going forward? Or should most investors brace themselves for decades of disappointment?
Will the generally good times for investors in risky assets such as equities from 1950-2020 repeat themselves going forward? Or should most investors brace themselves for decades of disappointment? What role does the rise of inflation and the emergence of war in Europe play? The answers to these questions are difficult – but they are central for individuals and society at large. The pension system and more broadly our future way of life depend on them.
In this «Crisis Conference Call», we will discuss these and other issues with Professor Joachim Voth of the University of Zurich, who is a globally known leading authority on economic and financial history. There is also an opportunity for video call participants to ask questions.
Joachim Voth teaches economics at the University of Zurich’s UBS Center for Economics in Society and is a research fellow at the CEPR. He has made important contributions to the study of long-run economic growth, the history of sovereign debt, causes and consequences of the Nazi Party's rise to power, and the economic history of the Industrial Revolution. He has received some of the most prestigious prizes in the academic world, including the Albert Hirschman Award, the Alexander Gerschenkron Prize, and the Gino Luzzatto Prize.
