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
In 1830, Prince Otto von Wittelsbach became King of Greece, a country on the periphery of Europe that had just gained state independence. The miserable economic situation made it necessary to borrow from abroad. The lecture examines the types of creditors who advanced money to Greece and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the various forms of credit.
