The Schwartz Center Lecture Series
The Schwartz Center Lecture Series consists of two annual lectures: The Irene
& Bernard L. Schwartz Lecture and The Robert Heilbroner Memorial Lecture on the Future of Capitalism. The Schwartz lecture is designed to contribute to
and influence the debate over crucial policy issues facing the U.S.
and world economies by bringing a distinguished speaker or panel
to address the University. Past speakers have included Paul Krugman,
Robert Rubin Amartya Sen, and Laura Tyson. The Heilbroner Memorial Lecture is an annual lecture in Heilbroner’s memory that focuses on capitalism’s future. Last year's lecture featured James K. Galbraith.
On occasion, the Center also hosts special lectures. For information on special events, please check our website regularly.
