Based in Siena, the home of Europe’s oldest bank, this hands-on seminar begins by examining the economic players and the playing field where firms operate, with discussions of supply and demand, regulation and free trade, international commerce, and game theory. Through guest speakers, case studies, and visits to historic financial institutions and local enterprises, explore the challenges and opportunities of the expanding sustainable economy. Explore finance, investment, trade, and banking, and how these forces have shaped markets from Renaissance Siena to the global economy of today.
