Why The Economy Is Collapsing
Join our in-person discussion on how simple but bad political and philosophical ideas can lead to drastic economic damage.
With the NASDAQ down 11% this month and trade disputes over tariffs showing no sign of ending, we’re here to ask: what the hell is going on? In "The Great Depression and the Role of Government Intervention", philosopher Don Watkins analyzes the philosophical and political causes of the famous Great Depression. We recommend reading this essay in preparation, as it will help us draw useful comparisons to understand our present economy.
TLDR, we’ll cover:
The Real Impact: How bad ideas and economic policies can collapse markets and hurt everyday people
Historical Lessons: Insights from the Great Depression as a cautionary tale
Current Events: Discussing the recent downturn and ongoing trade disputes
Future Outlook: What ideas are needed for a truly resilient economy without economic drama
