Professor Larry Smith
BA 1968, Economics
MA 1975, Economics

“The Economy After Covid:  What’s Next and What’s Not”

A discussion of how Covid has affected Canada and disrupted both the global economy and the financial markets. Are public finances unsustainable? Is inflation going to rage and take us back to the future? Are trade wars about to erupt? Has the nature of work truly changed? Has the demographic threat of boomer retirements and missing babies finally been realized? What is our pathway forward?

See the legendary Professor Larry Smith deliver one of his famous addresses. You'll feel like a student all over again.

Can't wait to hear Prof. Smith speak at Reunion? Check out his outrageously popular TEDxUW talk, "Why you will fail to have a great career", which has over 7 million views.
