Abstract
On today’s episode we hear a rebroadcast of the 2025 UMBC Mullen Lecture, sponsored by UMBC’s Center for Social Science Scholarship and the UMBC Department of Economics. This year’s lecture was delivered by Dr. Annamaria Lusardi. Dr. Lusardi is Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, Director of the Initiative for Financial Decision-Making, and Professor (by courtesy) at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Dr. Lusardi’s remarks take up the question of financial literacy among ordinary people around the world. In the talk, we learn about how much people know about personal finance, who is most vulnerable to economic predations due to their lack of financial literacy, and what we can do about it.
