SUMMARY:Discussion: Song Searcher
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion on Song Searcher\, a documentary about Moyshe Beregovsky\, a musician and scholar\, who traveled across Ukraine during the most dramatic years of Soviet history with a phonograph to record and study the traditional music of Ukrainian Jews. His work began in the 1920s and ended with his arrest and imprisonment in a Stalinist labor camp in 1950. Most of the songs he recorded on hundreds of fragile wax cylinders were deemed destroyed. But Beregovsky succeeded in saving the musical heritage of the centuries-old Yiddish civilization. He rescued the living voice of Ukrainian Jews from the flames of the Holocaust but paid for it with his life. \nPanelists \n\nAnna Shternishis\, University of Toronto\nLyudmila Sholokhova\, New York Public Library Dorot Jewish Division\nMark Slobin\, Wesleyan University\nGennady Estraikh\, New York University\n\nA password-protected link to a virtual screening of the film and a Zoom link to the panel discussion will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Roger Lowenstein on Ways and Means: Lincoln and His Cabinet and the Financing of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with renowned journalist and master storyteller Roger Lowenstein\, as he discusses his revelatory financial investigation into how President Abraham Lincoln and his administration used the funding of the Civil War as the catalyst to centralize the government and accomplish the most far-reaching reform in the country’s history. \nLincoln inherited a country in crisis. Even before the Confederacy’s secession\, the U.S. Treasury had run out of money. The government had no authority to raise taxes\, no federal bank\, and no currency. But amid unprecedented troubles\, Lincoln saw an opportunity: the chance to legislate in the centralizing spirit of the “more perfect union” that had first drawn him to politics. With Lincoln at the helm\, the United States would now govern “for” its people: it would enact laws\, establish a currency\, raise armies\, underwrite transportation and higher education\, assist farmers\, and impose taxes. Lincoln believed this agenda would foster the economic opportunity he had always sought for upwardly striving Americans. \nSalmon Chase\, Lincoln’s vanquished rival and his new secretary of the Treasury\, waged war on the financial front\, levying taxes and marketing bonds while desperately battling to contain wartime inflation. And while the Union and rebel armies fought increasingly savage battles\, the Republican-led Congress enacted a blizzard of legislation that made the government\, for the first time\, a powerful presence in the lives of ordinary Americans. The impact was revolutionary. The activist 37th Congress legislated for homesteads and a transcontinental railroad and involved the federal government in education\, agriculture\, and eventually immigration policy. It established a progressive income tax and created the greenback—paper money. While the Union became self-sustaining\, the South plunged into financial free fall\, having failed to leverage its cotton wealth to finance the war. Founded in a crucible of anti-centralism\, the Confederacy was trapped in a static (and slave-based) agrarian economy without federal taxing power or other means of government financing\, save for its overworked printing presses. This led to an epic collapse. Though Confederate troops continued to hold their own\, the North’s financial advantage over the South\, where citizens increasingly went hungry\, proved decisive; the war was won as much (or more) in the respective treasuries as on the battlefields. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Roger Lowenstein \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nRoger Lowenstein reported for The Wall Street Journal for more than a decade. His work also has appeared in Bloomberg\, The New York Times\, Washington Post\, Fortune\, The Atlantic\, and the New York Review of Books. In addition to Ways and Means\, his books include the NYT bestsellers Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist\, When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management\, and The End of Wall Street\, as well as the critically acclaimed Origins of the Crash: The Great Bubble and Its Undoing\, While America Aged\, and America’s Bank: The Epic Struggle to Create the Federal Reserve. \nCopies of Ways and Means will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Melting Pots of Various Sizes: Jewish and Catholic Approaches to Americanization
DESCRIPTION:When immigration from southern and eastern Europe began rising in the 1880s\, many American Jews and Catholics viewed their co-religionists with a mixture of welcome\, apprehension\, and horror. With roots in Germany and Ireland\, these religious communities had overcome prejudices and made places for themselves within a Protestant-dominated society. The sight of Italians parading hometown saints down the streets and Yiddish-speaking\, bearded men peddling their wares threatened to undermine all they had achieved. While the historical narrative typically tells a story of clashing sensibilities\, American Jews and Catholics had widely varying ideas of the degree to which newcomers should assimilate. This talk will reveal previously overlooked nuances within Jewish and Catholic communities and give particular attention to regional differences. \nAnne Blankenship is an associate professor of religious studies a North Dakota State University’s History\, Philosophy\, and Religious Studies Department. Her research investigates religious responses to injustice and relationships between national\, racial\, and religious identities. Her book Christianity\, Social Justice\, and Japanese American Incarceration during World War II demonstrated how injustice transformed Asian American Christianity and challenged religious and racial boundaries in liberal American Christianity. Blankenship’s current book project is titled Religion\, Race\, and Immigration: How Jews\, Catholics\, and Protestants Faced Mass Immigration\, 1882-1924. The project has received support from several institutions\, including the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Academy of Religion. She received her doctoral degree in American religious history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the John C. Danforth Center on Religion & Politics at Washington University in St. Louis\, and is a member of the Center for the Study of Religion & American Culture’s current Young Scholars of American Religion cohort. Blankenship teaches a wide range of courses\, including world religions\, history of Christianity\, global Islam\, new religious movements\, American religious history\, and religion and politics. \nThis event is co-presented by the Center for Jewish History and Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Common Good Constitutionalism
DESCRIPTION:Americans’ understanding of their Constitution and legal tradition has been dominated in recent decades by two contested themes: the “originalism” of conservatives and the “living constitutionalism” of progressives. Is it time to look for an alternative? Harvard Law School’s Adrian Vermeule says the alternative underlies the American legal tradition. He calls for “common good constitutionalism\,” which draws on “the classical synthesis of Roman law\, canon law\, and local civil law.” \nJoin us for a conversation with Eric J. Segall\, professor of law at Georgia State University; Fordham philosophy and law professor Michael Baur; and James E. Fleming\, professor of law at Boston University. The panel will be moderated by George Conk\, senior fellow at Fordham’s Stein Center for Law and Ethics.

SUMMARY:Zionism: An Emotional State
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk with Harvard University’s Derek Penslar. Based on Penslar’s forthcoming book\, the talk relates the history of Zionism through the lens of emotion. It argues that Zionism is a matrix of emotional states—bundles of feeling whose elements vary in volume\, intensity\, and durability across space and time. The history of emotions is a flourishing sub-field that dates back at least a half-century\, but few historians of Zionism have engaged with it\, preferring to focus on ideology and political institutions. Yet emotions are key to understanding Zionism\, which has historically been sustained by visceral sentiment\, as well as instrumental reasoning and moral values. Emotion is one of the most important cohesive forces within states and social movements. Scholars have created paradigms of “emotional regimes” created by states and informal “emotional communities\,” but the Zionist project has combined aspects of both. Just as the study of Zionism can benefit greatly from an emotional perspective\, emotional history is also enriched by engagement with a case that challenges reigning paradigms in the field. \nDerek Penslar is the William Lee Frost Professor of Jewish History at Harvard University. He previously taught at Indiana University\, the University of Toronto\, and Oxford University\, where he was the inaugural Stanley Lewis Chair in Modern Israel Studies. Penslar takes a comparative and transnational approach to Jewish history\, which he studies within the contexts of modern capitalism\, nationalism\, and colonialism. Penslar’s books include Shylock’s Children: Economics and Modern Identity in Modern Europe (2001)\, Israel in History: The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective (2006)\, The Origins of the State of Israel: A Documentary History (with Eran Kaplan\, 2011)\, Jews and the Military: A History (2013)\, and Theodor Herzl: The Charismatic Leader (2020). He is currently completing a book titled Zionism: An Emotional State and is beginning work on a global history of the 1948 Palestine War. Penslar is president of the American Academy for Jewish Research\, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, and an honorary fellow of St. Anne’s College\, Oxford.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Gillian Tett on Anthro-Vision: A New Way to See in Business and Life
DESCRIPTION:Amid severe digital disruption\, economic upheaval\, and political flux\, how can we make sense of the world? Leaders today typically look for answers in economic models\, big data\, or artificial intelligence platforms. Gillian Tett points to anthropology—the study of human culture. \nAnthropologists learn to get inside the minds of other people\, helping them not only understand other cultures but also appraise their own environment with a fresh perspective as an insider-outsider\, gaining lateral vision. Today\, anthropologists are more likely to study Amazon warehouses than remote Amazon tribes. They have done research into institutions and companies\, such as General Motors\, Nestlé\, Intel\, and more\, shedding light on such practical questions as how Internet users define themselves\, why corporate projects fail\, why bank traders miscalculate losses\, how companies sell certain products\, and why pandemic policies succeed (or not). Anthropology makes the familiar seem unfamiliar and vice versa\, giving a 3D perspective in a world where many executives are plagued by tunnel vision\, especially in fields like finance and technology. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Gillian Tett \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nGillian Tett serves as the chair of the editorial board and U.S. editor at large of the Financial Times. She writes weekly columns\, covering a range of economic\, financial\, political\, and social issues. She is also the co-founder of FT Moral Money\, a twice-weekly newsletter that tracks the ESG revolution in business and finance\, which has since grown to be a staple FT product. In 2020 and 2021\, Moral Money won the SABEW best newsletter. \nPreviously\, Tett was the FT’s U.S. managing editor from 2013 to 2019. She has also served as assistant editor for the FT’s markets coverage\, capital markets editor\, deputy editor of the Lex column\, Tokyo bureau chief\, Tokyo correspondent\, London-based economics reporter\, and a reporter in Russia and Brussels. She is the author of The Silo Effect (2016) and Fool’s Gold (2009)\, a New York Times bestseller and Financial Book of the Year at the inaugural Spear’s Book Awards\, and Saving the Sun: A Wall Street Gamble to Rescue Japan from its Trillion Dollar Meltdown (2003). Her latest book is Anthro-Vision: A New Way to See In Business and Life (2021). \nIn 2014\, Tett won the Royal Anthropological Institute Marsh Award and was named Columnist of the Year at the British Press Awards. Her 2012 article “Madoff Spins His Story” won the SABEW Award for best feature article. Before joining the Financial Times in 1993\, Tett earned a Ph.D. in social anthropology from Cambridge University based on field work in the former Soviet Union. While pursuing the Ph.D.\, she freelanced for the FT and the BBC. \nCopies of Anthro-Vision will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:New York Jews and New York Social Democracy
DESCRIPTION:A conversation between Daniel Soyer and Robert W. Snyder about Daniel Soyer’s new book\, Left in the Center: The Liberal Party of New York and the Rise and Fall of American Social Democracy (Cornell\, 2022). \nBetween the 1930s and the 1970s\, New Yorkers benefited from a kind of social-democracy-in-one-city unusual in the United States. Also unusual were the strong minor parties that played an important role in New York’s politics and helped formulate its social policy. Chief among these was the Liberal Party\, which drew support especially from the garment unions and the city’s working- and middle-class Jewish community. In its heyday\, the party could mobilize tens of thousands of people\, many of them union members\, and sway elections. By the end of the 20th century\, New York’s social democracy was in tatters\, and many charged that the Liberal Party had degenerated into a cynical patronage machine. Daniel Soyer discusses the roots of the Liberal Party and New York’s brand of social liberalism in the Jewish immigrant labor and Socialist movements\, their infusion into mainstream politics\, their influence on the city and state\, and their decline — along with their Jewish ethnic base — toward the end of the century. While the Liberal Party no longer exists\, small parties like the Working Families and Conservative Parties still play a significant role in local politics\, and so lessons drawn from the Liberal Party’s history are still relevant today. \nYou can get a 30% discount with code 09BCARD from Cornell University Press when you order the book from Cornell University Press. \nDaniel Soyer is a professor of history and Jewish studies at Fordham University and editor of The Jewish Metropolis: New York City from the 17th to the 21st Century (Academic Studies Press\, 2021).

SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED: Centennial Speaker Series: Mary Childs on The Bond King: How One Man Made a Market\, Built an Empire\, and Lost It All
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with the host of NPR’s Planet Money as she uncovers the deeply investigated story of how one visionary\, dogged investor changed American finance forever. Before Bill Gross was known among investors as the Bond King\, he was a gambler. In 1966\, a fresh college grad\, he went to Las Vegas armed with his net worth ($200) and a knack for counting cards. Countless casino bans and $10\,000 later\, he was hooked: So he enrolled in business school. \nThe Bond King is the story of how that whiz kid made American finance his casino. Over the course of decades\, Gross turned the sleepy bond market into a destabilized game of high risk\, high reward; founded Pimco\, one of today’s most powerful\, secretive\, and cutthroat investment firms; helped to reshape our financial system in the aftermath of the Great Recession—to his own advantage; and gained legions of admirers and enemies along the way. Like every American antihero\, his ambition would also be his undoing. \nTo understand the winners and losers of today’s money game\, journalist Mary Childs argues\, is to understand the bond market—and to understand the bond market is to understand the Bond King. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Mary Childs \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nMary Childs is a co-host and correspondent for NPR’s Planet Money podcast. Previously\, she was a reporter at Barron’s magazine\, the Financial Times\, and Bloomberg News. She graduated from Washington & Lee University in Lexington\, Virginia\, with a degree in business journalism. \nCopies of The Bond King will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: James Park on The Valuation Treadmill: How Securities Fraud Threatens the Integrity of Public Companies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with UCLA Law professor James Park\, author of the forthcoming book The Valuation Treadmill: How Securities Fraud Threatens the Integrity of Public Companies\, who will discuss the history of securities fraud regulation from the 1960s until the present. \nPublic companies now face constant pressure to meet investor expectations. The typical public company must continually deliver strong short-term performance every quarter to maintain its stock price. This valuation treadmill creates incentives for corporations to deceive investors. Published 20 years after the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley\, which requires all public companies to invest in measures to ensure the accuracy of their disclosures\, The Valuation Treadmill shows how securities fraud became a major regulatory concern. Drawing on case studies of paradigmatic securities enforcement actions involving Xerox\, Penn Central\, Apple\, Enron\, Citigroup\, and General Electric\, the book argues that corporate securities fraud emerged as investors increasingly valued companies based on their future performance. Corporations now have an incentive to issue unrealistically optimistic disclosure to convince markets that their success will continue. Securities regulation must do more to protect the integrity of public companies from the pressure of the valuation treadmill. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: James Park \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nJames Park is a professor of law at UCLA School of Law\, where he teaches securities regulation. Before becoming a law professor\, he worked as an assistant attorney general in the Investor Protection Bureau of the New York Attorney General’s Office. He is a graduate of Yale Law School and Miami University (Ohio). \nCopies of The Valuation Treadmill will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Bruce Usher on Investing in the Era of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:A climate catastrophe can be avoided\, but only with rapid and sustained investment in companies and projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To the surprise of many\, this has already begun. Investors are abandoning fossil-fuel companies and other polluting industries and financing businesses offering climate solutions. Rising risks\, evolving social norms\, government policies\, and technological innovation are all accelerating this movement of capital. \nBruce Usher offers an indispensable guide to the risks and opportunities for investors as the world faces climate change. He explores the role that investment plays in reducing emissions to net zero by 2050\, detailing how to finance the winners and avoid the losers in a transforming global economy. Usher argues that careful examination of climate solutions will offer investors a new and necessary lens on the future for their own financial benefit and for the greater good. Companies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions will create great wealth\, and\, more importantly\, they will provide a lifeline for humanity. \nGrounded in academic and industry research\, Usher’s insights bring clarity to a complex and controversial topic while illuminating the people behind the numbers. This book sets out a practical and actionable plan for investors to alter the course of climate change. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Bruce Usher \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nBruce Usher is professor of professional practice and the Elizabeth B. Strickler ’86 and Mark T. Gallogly ’86 Faculty Director of the Tamer Center for Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School\, where he teaches on the intersection of financial\, social\, and environmental issues. He was previously an entrepreneur and worked in financial services in New York and Tokyo. Usher is also the author of Renewable Energy: A Primer for the Twenty-First Century (Columbia\, 2019). \nCopies of Investing in the Era of Climate Change will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

DESCRIPTION:Nick Geiser\, FCRH ’17\, will present\, “What good is string theory? The Math & Physics of Strings.” \nString theory is the most promising candidate for the unification of quantum mechanics and gravity in a mathematically consistent framework. Moreover\, string theory is a well-established conceptual and computational tool that has been applied to a wide range of topics\, including particle physics\, astrophysics\, and pure mathematics. In this talk\, Geiser will present a lightning review of the fundamental theories of quantum mechanics (the standard model of particle physics) and gravity (general relativity) before introducing string theory as a consistent theory of quantum gravity. Geiser will then explore some basic stringy calculations\, encountering several famous mathematical objects\, such as the gamma function and the Riemann zeta function\, along the way. Finally\, Geiser will discuss the stringy origins of the “double-copy” between gauge theory and gravity and its application to colliding black holes. \nThis talk assumes familiarity with calculus (integrals).
