Justice in Finance
Tuesday 4 February, 6.30 – 8pm
Wolfson Theatre, New Academic Building, LSE
Gabriel Wollner, Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method, LSE and Forum for European Philosophy Fellow
Chair: Bryan Roberts, Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method, LSE and Forum for European Philosophy Fellow
There has recently been much debate among economists and politicians about the idea of levying a tax on particular transactions on international financial markets. Gabriel Wollner will contribute to the debate about international financial transaction taxation by bringing the perspective of political philosophy to bear on the politicians’ and economists’ arguments about policy. He will develop a framework for thinking about justice in finance and defend the idea of an international financial transaction tax as an instrument for making the international financial system more just.

The Uses of Space In Early Modern History 1500-1850, Seminar Series
International History Department, LSE
The study of space and place is an increasingly important research-field in the humanities and social sciences. This series explores how spatial ideas and approaches can be used to understand the societies, cultures and mentalities of the past. Leading scholars from a range of disciplines will reflect on the uses of space in two respects: how spatial concepts can be employed by or applied to the study of history; and how particular spaces were used for practical and ideological purposes in specific periods
Series Organiser: Dr Paul Stock p.stock@lse.ac.uk
Place: LSE New Academic Building, room 2.14 Time: 18.00 All welcome
