Lectures and Guest Speakers

LECTURES AND GUEST SPEAKERS PPE Forum

For the opening PPE Forum we welcomed Charles Moore, former editor of the Daily Telegraph and The Spectator, and official biographer of Margaret Thatcher. Charles talked about the intersection of History and Biography, and offered a range of fascinating and unique insights into the life and career of Mrs Thatcher.

In February the PPE Forum heard from Dr Johanna Thoma from the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and from Dr Yaron Brook, Chairman of the Board of the Ayn Rand Institute. Dr Thoma gave an insightful paper on procrastination and policy formation and Dr Brook spoke about the morality of inequality.
