The Graduate Institute of Geneva, September 10, 2020

Can we learn from history or is the past a different country? Even if it is difficult to draw lessons from the past, our current circumstances certainly change how we interpret history. On September 10, 2020,  the presentations and discussion at the Graduate Institute of Geneva’s session, anchored on history and reflected current concerns about a possible looming debt crisis driven the economic and health crisis associated with the COVID pandemic.
