Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Free Markets is the topic of the 2024 Deeds Symposium on Thursday, April 4, at 5:30 p.m. The annual lecture on free-market principles will be given by the Holbert C. Harris Professor of Economics at George Mason University Tyler Cowen.
The event will take place in Wilde Auditorium and is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended by March 28.
Named America’s “hottest economist” by Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Cowen is thethe bestselling author of titles including The Great Stagnation, The Complacent Class, and most recently, Talent: How to Identify Energizers, Creatives, and Winners Around the World. In addition to his books, he also communicates economic ideas in academic journals including American Economic Review and publications such as The New York Times, TheWall Street Journal, and Bloomberg Opinion.
His blog, Marginal Revolution, was named the best economics blog on the web by The Wall Street Journal and earned him a spot on Time’s “25 Best Bloggers” list. Cowen’s other books include Discover Your Inner Economist, a treatment of behavioral economics, and An Economist Gets Lunch: New Rules for Everyday Foodies. He is one of Foreign Policy‘s “Top 100 Global Thinkers,” and an Economist survey counted him as one of the most influential economists of the last decade.
Cowen shows the economic, financial, and demographic forces that will determine the winners and losers of the next decade in fields as different as health care, education, energy, and global markets. He offers compelling analyses of the future of the Eurozone, Medicare and Medicaid, and the American financial systems, demonstrating in every case who will come out on top and why.
The Deeds Symposium was established at UHart in 1982 to provide a forum for the consideration of free-market principles. Program speakers are internationally known participants in the continuing discussion of free enterprise and government.
