Welcome to the second issue of InsightsInsights publishes condensed and edited versions of important public lectures connected with the Faculty of Economics and Commerce. By presenting these lectures in a language and format accessible to the general reader, we hope to share their substance with a wider public and especially with alumni of the Faculty. We also aim to establish archival material for future researchers. In Volume 2, we delve into diverse topics in economic theory and current affairs, offered by distinguished academics in their respective fields. We often hear from members of business and the community that in a complex world, these voices are welcome additions to the public debate. This edition features an illustration by one of the University of Melbourne’s graduate students. Ms Nicola Page is from the Victorian College of the Arts and we are delighted that her work appears on the cover.
