In this event, we had the honour to host two distinguished speakers: Dr Stathis Kouvelakis, Reader in Political Theory, King's College London and member of the central political committee of SYRIZA, and Aditya Chakraborty, economics leader writer for the Guardian. We invited our speakers to explore parallels and differences between Greece and the UK, with respect to the handling and the effects of the financial crisis and the possible strategies to overcome it.
