We are delighted to welcome Professor Deirdre McCloskey to present the Inaugural MMH guest lecture to celebrate the tercentenary of the birth of Adam Smith.

Deirdre McCloskey is a distinguished scholar and Isaiah Berlin Chair in Liberal Thought at the Cato Institute and Professor Emerita of Economics and of History, and Professor Emerita of English and of Communication, adjunct in classics and philosophy, at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Trained at Harvard in the 1960s as an economist and having taught at the University of Chicago in the Economics Department during its glory days, she has written twenty-four books and some four hundred academic and popular articles. Deirdre is a pioneer in so many ways, especially concerning her heterodox economic work, for example on humanomics.

This event is a unique opportunity to listen, in person, to a living-legend and one of the most prominent thinkers in heterodox economics as she shares her views on Adam Smith, economics, (in)equality, liberalism, markets, society, and more.
