Andrew Gamble: Tuesday, January 31
Andrew Gamble will talk about "Crisis Without End" at 6:30 pm in H0.51. Andrew Gamble is Professor and Head of the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge. His extensive work on British politics, political economy, and political thought and ideology has been recognized by prizes and fellowships. His most recent work, The Spectre at the Feast (2009), analyses the politics of recession and capitalist crises. It raised many issues, including the wider implications of the 2008 Financial Crisis and how far they will stretch out, and the impact on the balance of global power. Three years after the book was published, Prof. Gamble will give his views on the events that have unravelled now that we start to see these wider implications, and how the world order may be changing in response to the financial crisis.
