Malgorzata Mazurek: “National, that is, social income”

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We’re back again next week with Professor Malgorzata Mazurek (Associate Professor of Polish Studies, Department of History, Columbia University)!

We will be discussing a chapter from her latest book project titled Economics of Hereness. Polish Origins of Global Developmentalism 1918–1968. As Professor Mazurek describes it, the chapter deals with “Eastern Europe’s multi-ethnicity and how it impacted and shaped Polish macroeconomic thinking and the Polish idea of national income” within the context of the book’s broader focus: two Warsaw-based economists, Ludwik Landau and Michał Kalecki.

We will meet next Wednesday, February 28 from 4:30-6 pm in Pick Hall 105 (CISSR).

As always, we very much encourage in person attendance, but please let us know if you would like to join via Zoom.
