Harvard Club of Boston's Author Series hosted a special evening conversation with renowned historian Niall Ferguson and the nation's foremost network science expert Albert-Laszlo Barabasi. In his most recent book, The Square and the Tower, Ferguson applies lessons from Barabasi's pioneering work in network science to the domain of historical analysis, drawing insights from a wide range of fascinating examples across past decades and centuries, with important implications for current affairs. As Barabasi has demonstrated both in his academic work and in his popular writing (Linked), network science research has led to meaningful discoveries in areas ranging from biology and medicine, to institutional analysis and social networks.
