Event Details
Join fellow Booth alums for a highly interactive lunch discussion of current issues in economics, finance, and public policy, based on the weekly online commentary published by Professors Gary Becker and Richard Posner on their blog.
The September 2nd discussion will focus on the healthcare reforms being considered by the current administration. We will focus on issues such as the reasons attributed for the high costs of healthcare, the quality of healthcare in the US vis-a-vis other G8 countries and the some specific issues such medical malpractice lawsuits in the US. The discussions will be anchored by online commentaries by Professors Becker & Posner. Details and links to the commentaries are available on the Chicago Booth Alumni Club event page (Click on ‘Register Online’ link below to view the page).
The meeting format is based on our highly-successful Friday morning strategic management discussions where participants are invited to read a short selection of readings and then contribute to a one-hour facilitated discussion on the selected topic. Registration for these Chicago loop (LaSalle Street) discussions is limited to twenty people so that everyone has ample opportunity to participate in the conversation. The registration fee includes a box lunch.
Note: These meetings operate much like a book club and will not feature scheduled speakers. We are discussing WRITTEN COMMENTARY by professors Becker and Posner. They will NOT be physically present at these sessions, and have neither endorsed nor discouraged these meetings.
$15 (Boxed Lunch Included)
