The Stanley Hoffmann Annual Lecture on France and the World

 

Stanley Hoffmann

On March 6, 2020 the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES) inaugurated the Stanley Hoffmann Annual Lecture on France and the World. This lecture series honors the intellectual legacy of Stanley Hoffmann, Paul and Catherine Buttenwieser University Professor at Harvard University and founding chairman of CES, a prolific academic and brilliant lecturer, who left a deep mark on contemporary understandings of Europe and international relations.

The inaugural lecture was presented by Thomas Piketty, professor at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) and the Paris School of Economics, who discussed his new book "Capital and Ideology." This lecture was the last in-person event held at Harvard University before it transitioned to virtual instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
