Jacob Soll's interdisciplinary research combines the humanities and economics, focusing on the history of ideas, political responsibility and financial systems. As professor of philosophy, history and accounting at the University of Southern California, he is the author of widely discussed books such as Publishing the Prince (2005) and Free Market: The History of an Idea (2022).
During his visit, he will teach a course as part of the Contextual Studies programme and deliver a public lecture, as well as participating in various discussion panels. These events will explore topics in economic and intellectual history in depth, while also addressing current developments in the United States and around the world.
The detailed programme will follow.
