Coping with Crisis:
ASI webinar on the response to COVID-19

We’re all currently in the midst of self-isolation, but that won’t stop the Adam Smith Institute holding governments to account for their responses to COVID-19. 

In our first ASI Webinar, we will be discussing how various countries are tackling the crisis—and what they could be doing better. This will be the first in a series of webinars examining the politics and economics of the ongoing pandemic.

Each of our panellists will discuss the policy response to COVID-19 from their country of expertise: Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong respectively. We will then have a Q&A session during which webinar participants can quiz the ASI about how free marketeers are responding to the situation.

The numbers in the webinar are limited on a first-come basis. We will also live stream it on Facebook. It will also be possible to rewatch it after the event.

Panellists:

• Matthew Lesh (Head of Research, Adam Smith Institute & Adjunct Fellow, Institute of Public Affairs, Australia) on Australia
• Morgan Schondelmeier (Head of External Affairs, Adam Smith Institute) on the United States
• Sam Bowman (Senior Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute and incoming Director of Competition Policy at the International Center for Law and Economics) on the United Kingdom
• Saloni Dattani (Twitter Meme Queen at the Adam Smith Institute and PhD student in Psychiatric Genetics at King's College London/University of Hong Kong) on Hong Kong
