The 2020 Berlin Family Lectures with Danielle Allen
"Democracy in the Time of Coronavirus"
Lecture two: "Roadmap to Pandemic Resilience"
May 13, 2020

Many have used a language of needing to choose between lives and the economy in developing our response to COVID-19. That is, however, not really the challenge we face. Instead the question is how best to mobilize our resources against a multi-pronged existential threat. This lecture explores the prongs of the threat and a framework for achieving an integrated response.

This is the second lecture in a four-lecture series presented in the spring of 2020 at the University of Chicago.

Named for Randy L. and Melvin R. Berlin, the Berlin Family Lectures bring leading scholars, writers, and creative artists from around the world to the University of Chicago. Each visitor offers an extended series of lectures with the aim of interacting with the university community and developing a book for publication with the University of Chicago Press.
