Join Collegium Institute for an interview with Dr. Benjamin M. Friedman, William Joseph Maier Professor of Political Economy, and formerly Chairman of the Department of Economics, at Harvard University.
The interview will cover the ideas explored in Dr. Friedman's new book, Religion and the Rise of Capitalism, which challenges the common assumption that economics is a purely secular Enlightenment project and elucidates the significant role that religious thought played in the discipline's foundations and the role it continues to play in contemporary economic thought. In elucidating this unexpected yet deeply-rooted, ongoing relationship between religion and economics, Friedman offers insights into a variety of current economic issues.

The interview will be conducted by Dr. Mike Kane, Director of Collegium Institute's Philosophy of Finance Initiative.
This event is co-sponsored by Beatrice Institute.
