‘I told you so!’ How economics can use the past to predict the future

From economic downturn, housing crises, a global pandemic, war in Europe and climate change, it’s clear that the world we live in is tumultuous.  How do we navigate these challenges, and whatever else may be thrown at us? The Centre for Economics, Policy and History (CEPH) invites you to join several of Ireland’s finest economic historians as they look back at some of the most disastrous periods of Irish and world history, and how they can be understood and used against the threats of an uncertain future. History may repeat itself, but just wait until you see what economics has to say!
