Williams School Launches Cincinnatus Book Club
The Williams School has launched a campus-wide book club for students, faculty and staff who want to bridge business, science and the liberal arts by coming together to read books on some of today’s most urgent topics.
Discussion groups meet twice during the winter term, and the program culminates with a public lecture by the author. Books are given to members free of charge, and are guaranteed to those students who register before Dec. 11.
This year, the Cincinnatus Book Club will read “The Reckoning: Financial Accountability and the Rise and Fall of Nations” by Jacob Soll, Professor of History and Accounting and the University of Southern California and a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient.
