Free and open to the public.

Paul Krugman joined the New York Times in 1999 as an op/ed columnist and continues as a Princeton professor of economics and international affairs. He is the author or editor of 20 books and more than 200 scholarly papers, specializing in international trade and finance. His current academic research is focused on economic and currency crises. Krugman also writes for a broader public audience and has emerged in recent years as the sharpest analyst on the Times’ editorial pages.

In this talk, Krugman will discuss the ideas in his new book, The Conscience of a Liberal, published by W.W. Norton. James K. Galbraith, a professor at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas and director of the Inequality Project, will introduce the program and offer reflections on the issues Krugman raises in his work.
