Oxford at Saïd Seminar: Business History

Three business historians will discuss what we can learn from history about the current financial crisis.

• Alan Morrison, Professor of Finance, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford
• Alan Bowman, Professor of Ancient History, University of Oxford
• Christopher McKenna, Reader in Business History and Strategy, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford

This seminar is part of the Oxford at Saïd series, which brings academics together with an interested but non-specialist audience to present latest research findings in an everyday language.

The current crisis started with the bursting of the housing bubble, was amplified by the collapse of some of the powerful investment banks on Wall Street and lead to the detection of one of the largest financial frauds in history. In this seminar, these three prominent features of the crisis will be discussed from a historical perspective.

The Oxford at Saïd series is a joint venture between the Oxford Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and the Regional Liaison Office of the University of Oxford. The talks are open to professionals, students and staff of the  University. Seminars run from 6:00-7:30pm and are followed by a drinks reception.
