Cwik Lectures in Europe

Over the Summer of 2019, I was fortunate to be able to give a series of lectures in three different European countries: Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany. 

I started the trip by delivering a lecture at Wroclaw University in Wroclaw, Poland.  On May 30, 2019, the talk I gave was called, "Macroeconomic Challenges: An Introduction to Austrian Macroeconomics."  This lecture was presented to faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students.

With my host: Mateusz Machaj

Lecturing at Wroclaw University

On May 31, I participated as the featured guest in the Structure of Production and Capital Theory seminars.  There were about 15-20 dedicated Austrian economics students that attended all of the sessions.

Quite a special group of dedicated Austrian Economists

In Prague, my first lecture (June 25, 2019) at the CEVRO Institut, Prague, Czech Republic, was called, "Capitalism's Heroes: Prices, Profits and Losses."  The President of the Institut, Josef Šíma, was a very gracious host.  And I am proud to have been able to work with him and his faculty.

There were about 50 general business students there and it was well received.  

The first lecture in Prague

The second lecture in Prague took place the following day, on Thursday June 26, and was to the advanced PPE students.  There were half a dozen of the school’s top students that attended my lecture on "The Yield Curve and the Structure of Production."

With the Advanced Graduate Student group

On the 4th of July I delivered my final European lecture at the Institut Für Wirtschaftsprüfung, Universität des Saarlandes in Saarbrücken, Germany.  My host Dr. Michael Olbrich went above and beyond normal hosting duties.  He took me and my family to the town of Trier, showed us around the university's town of Saarbrücken and even hosted a cook out with his faculty and staff.

The title of the talk was "Capitalism’s Heroes: Prices, Profits and Losses."  This lecture was presented to students, graduate students and faculty.  There were over 50 people in attendance.

No surprise, the students filled the back rows up first!

The faculty were so wonderful.

To all of those that worked with me and my family, who hosted us, those dealt with our emergencies, and to the students who endured my lectures, I want to say thank you.  Thank you for a wonderful time and experience.  I hope that it was as profitable for you as it was for me.
