  • The World's Local Religion - Professor Alec Ryrie
    This lecture follows the adaptation of evangelical Christianity in East Asia, Southern Africa and Latin America in the post-imperial age: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-worlds-local-religion
    In the post-imperial age evangelical Christianity has become a genuinely global religion. But it is also deeply local, adapting to and challenging social structures, and developing unique, often incompatible doctrines. This lecture will explore this adaptation in three contexts – East Asia, Southern Africa and Latin America – to ask what evangelicalism has brought to those societies, how (and to what extent) it has put down roots there, and how it has changed them and been changed itself in the process.
    The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-worlds-local-religion
    Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 1,900 lectures free to access or download from the website.

  • Are You Interested or Discounted? Long Finance Conference Panel Discussion by Alderman Professor Michael Mainelli
    THE LONG FINANCE SPRING CONFERENCE
    Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and Net Present Value (NPV) analyses have long been part of the financial analyst's toolbox. By deciding on a discount rate and using that discount rate in some exponential equations it can be argued that future generations will be richer than us, so we can spend wantonly now. Or that something expensive is really quite cheap if we make a very small change in the discount rate.
    This conference will examine the implications of discount rates on society's long-term decisions such as health, education, infrastructure, and the environment.
    Supported by the Z-Yen Group
