The Trinity Economics Society is proud to present Vicky Pryce.
Date: Monday 11th November, 2013
Time: 18:00- 19:00
Venue: Winstanley Lecture Hall, Trinity College, Cambridge
Professor Pryce is a distinguished economist (former Joint Head of the Government Economic Service, and former Chief Economist at KPMG, among other roles), who also has first-hand experience of the UK prison system. It is this unique perspective she will draw on in her talk.
She is speaking on the subject of her latest book, “Prisonomics”, which argues passionately and from personal experience that the current state of the UK criminal justice system, and in particular its treatment of women, is both economically misguided and unfair. She also makes the claim that most women are in prison because of the men in their lives. She may also talk on the current state of the Eurozone, a topic on which she has been long recognised as an expert.
Come along for a talk which will be insightful, controversial and one-of-a-kind, on a topic that far too few people dare to address. As usual, copious free refreshments will be provided.
