OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
What have we forgotten about globalization?
Inaugural Lecture of the Professor of Economic and Social History
Almost exactly 100 years ago, John Maynard Keyes described the 19th century era of globalization as ‘unusual, unstable, complicated, unreliable and temporary’. Keynes’ warnings about the threat that economic conflict posed to a lasting peace seemed to come true after the great reversal of globalization in the 1930s. As we seem poised to enter another retreat from open markets, it is appropriate to reflect on what historians have revealed about the fragility of the international economic system and the elaborate, if often hidden, apparatus that supported the return to globalization in the late 20th century.
