“Our Economy Post-Covid” — Hans-Werner Sinn Joins HHL Expert Talk

HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management invites the public to a virtual conversation with Hans-Werner Sinn, perhaps Germany’s best-known economist, who served as President of the ifo Institute until 2016. The discussion will focus on the question of what politics could have done better in the pandemic from an economic perspective and what challenges society will face once the coronavirus-related restrictions are lifted.

HHL Professor Wilhelm Althammer of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Chair of Macroeconomics will ask Professor Sinn questions such as: “How great is the risk that we will see a return of inflation due to pent-up demand and an extremely expansionary monetary policy? How long should we expect zero interest rates? How should we deal with the increase in national debt and do we need new taxes?”

The virtual talk will take place on Wednesday, May 19, live from 6:30 - 7:30 pm. via Zoom. Participation is open to all interested parties.
The event will be held in German.

HHL Expert Talk – virtual series of discussions about events on the global market
In its virtual discussion series HHL Expert Talk, HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management addresses current developments in society and business. In doing so, HHL serves up the latest and most important topics of its research and study programs to a broad audience. Interested parties far beyond the HHL student body can also benefit from the expertise of HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management and its invited guests. At the moment, the main topic of discussion is the pandemic crisis and its impact on society, the economy, sports and culture. The expert talks are frequently held in English as that is the on-campus language at the international university. For topics that have a more German focus, the expert interviews are conducted in German.
