SUMMARY:Lower Forever or Set for a Regime Break? Lessons from Real Interest Rates Since the 14th Century
DESCRIPTION:Paul Schmelzing will discuss his groundbreaking research on real interest rate dynamics since the beginning of secondary debt markets\, the topic of one of his PhD chapters. On the basis of visiting US and European archives over multiple years\, he reconstructed global real interest rate series that cover 82% of advanced economy GDP over 700 years\, and he argues that our current negative rate environment has actually been in the making for centuries. Mr. Schmelzing will explain why investors during the Italian Renaissance could already have predicted that the global economy would hit the “zero lower bound” in our time\, why there is no such thing as a “normal” or “steady state” interest rate – and what the chances are that the major recent fiscal and monetary stimuli will now trigger a structural break from the low inflation\, low rate era. Following Mr. Schmelzing’s presentation\, James Grant and Richard Sylla will lead a discussion on the history of interest rates and will take questions from the audience.

SUMMARY:Pieces of China:  Carolyn Phillips on the Wok
DESCRIPTION:What’s in a wok? Stir frying\, steaming\, pan frying\, deep frying\, poaching\, boiling\, braising\, searing\, smoking\, and stewing! And none of this would be possible without the brilliant design of this utensil which can evenly distribute such high heat. Celebrated cookbook writer Carolyn Phillips talks about the wok and what she learned about China when her Chinese in-laws taught her how to cook with it.

SUMMARY:“Horse Crazy” And The Holocaust With Sarah Maslin Nir
DESCRIPTION:As a New York Times staff reporter for the last decade\, Sarah Maslin Nir has seen a lot. She covered the escape of two inmates from the Clinton Correctional Facility; camped out overnight at Zuccotti Park with Occupy Wall Street protesters; attended 25 parties over five days; and conducted a sweeping investigation into New York City’s nail salon industry\, for which she was a 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist. Maslin Nir’s latest project is Horse Crazy: The Story of a Woman and a World in Love with an Animal\, a new book that traces her lifelong obsession with horses and provides a window into the lesser-known corners of the equestrian world. Throughout her career\, Maslin Nir has carried the stories of her family with her—including her father\, Yehuda Nir\, who survived the Holocaust in Poland and became a prominent psychiatrist who specialized in treating trauma among New York City’s Hasidic Jews. Join the Museum for a program exploring Maslin Nir’s family background\, fascinating career\, and identity as the descendant of Holocaust survivors. She’ll be interviewed by Stephanie Butnick\, Tablet Magazine Deputy Editor and co-host of the leading Jewish podcast “Unorthodox.”
