Наука 12+

The School of World Economy of the National Research University Higher School of Economics is holding online-seminar «Scenarios for a post-corona world that is … still pre-pandemic». Our speaker will be a professor of Erasmus University, Peter van Bergeijk.

It will take significant time, energy and investment to get a hold on the COVID-19 pandemic, but the real challenge is to start to prepare for the next pandemic. Professor Peter van Bergeijk presents work in progress for his book Pandemic Economics that is to be published by Edward Elgar in the autumn of 2020. Following an update on where we stand in the battle against the economic fallout of the Corona virus, Peter will argue that our mindset needs to change; we need to realize that our society is always pre-pandemic. Based on five different settings that run from a Darwinian society to an autarkic autocracy, the seminar will investigate how the organization of society could influence the impact of the next pandemic
