This final session features Professors Glenn Hubbard and Tano Santos, the faculty who teach the popular course Modern Political Economy at Columbia Business School.
Hubbard is the director of the Jerome A. Chazen Institute for Global Business, Dean Emeritus, and Russell L. Carson Professor of Finance and Economics at Columbia Business School; and Santos is the director of the Heilbrunn Center for Graham and Dodd Investing and Robert Heilbrunn Professor of Asset Management and Finance at Columbia Business School. Sandi Wright, director of the Tamer Center for Social Enterprise, moderates the session.
The session begins with Hubbard and Santos answering questions from host Professor Ray Horton based on three topics of critical importance that were addressed in previous episodes throughout the season: climate change, migration, and artificial intelligence. In each case, they answer the questions from the perspective of political economy rather than economics.
The Columbia Business School faculty who addressed these issues in earlier episodes of season one comment on the remarks of Santos and Hubbard — Professors Bruce Usher and Gernot Wagner on climate change, Professor Dan Wang and postdoctoral research scholar Sandra Portocarrero on migration, and Professor Sandra Matz on artificial intelligence. Sandra Navalli OAM ’03, managing director of the Tamer Center for Social Enterprise, closes with comments on how this podcast provides a platform to discuss major global issues that elevate the public discourse around the modern political economy.
The session ends with Horton asking Hubbard and Santos to predict who will be the winner of the 2024 presidential campaign.
