Please join Penn IUR for a talk with Penn IUR Scholar John McDonald who will speak about his book Chicago: An Economic History (Routledge, 2015). McDonald’s book is an economic history of the Chicago metropolitan area from the 1820s to the present. It examines the city in its Midwestern region and compares it to the other major cities of the North. This book uses theories of the economics of location and other economic models to explain much of Chicago’s history. McDonald is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Economics at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The event will be introduced by Janice Madden, Professor of Regional Science, Sociology, Urban Studies, and Real Estate, School of Arts and Sciences and The Wharton School.
