This event is open to all alumni as well as current students, staff, and faculty.

We are told that the new finance of crypto and central-bank digital currency is not beholden to old rules. Financial history tells us something different: We have been here before. Our contemporary financial revolution is just a new mix of some of the oldest ideas of shared ledgers, tradable liabilities, and assets in the form of a promise to pay. Financial history can help decision-makers understand where new products borrow from long-standing institutions – and spot old risks in new clothing.
