Brown to give lecture on economics
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown is returning to his former university to give a talk on economics.
Dr Brown will use his lecture at the University to argue that there is an alternative to the prospect of low growth and high unemployment.
In his talk - which is open to the public - the former Chancellor of the Exchequer will claim that instead the future could be one of ‘jobs and justice’.
The Future of Jobs and Justice will take place at the McEwan Hall, Bristo Square, on Tuesday, 19 April, 5:30-7pm.
