Chicago: Past, Present, Future

April 10, 2019 By Aaron M. Renn

I gave a talk recently at the Chicago Booth School of Business about Chicago and while I was not able to record it, I decided to reprise my talk as a podcast. I give a very brief narrative overview of the city’s history, it’s present day strengths, the challenges it faces, and ideas for the future.
