For those who are interested in current economic and finance issues. If you want to understand more about how financial systems work, discuss the modern trends in economics, learn specific terminology and practice your English, you are welcome to join our Economics&Finance Discussion Club. In our biweekly sessions, we discuss articles from the well-known sources such as The Economist, The Financial Times, The Harvard Business Review. The topics include interest rates, inflation, unemployment, fiscal stimulus and other themes.

The topic of our next meeting is Venture Capital investments. What do venture capitalists do?  Are they really “business angels”? Why venture capital investments are sometimes called “seed” investments? How do venture capitalists chose the companies to invest in? What is their role in the growth of start up companies? Please join us next Saturday, July 8^th to discuss these questions. The meeting starts at 2 p.m. and should take about an hour and a half.
