Great Investors As Historians (H334)

H – Literature

Graphic of Delaware with New Castle County Highlighted

Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | April 2, 2025-April 30, 2025

Wednesday: 12:45 PM-2:00 PM

Great investors rely on their interpretations of recent and distant history to shape their decisions. Of course they care about the present and the future, but they often extrapolate from the past. We examine the historical insights of three legends: George Soros, Robert Shiller, and Ray Dalio.

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
