This clip shows some of the highlights of our event with historian Niall Ferguson. He joined us online on July 5, 2021 for a conversation about his book 'Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe'. Ferguson not only offers just a history but a general theory of disaster, but also views the corona pandemic in relation to other major catastrophes. (video by Dan Warvi)
