Annually, the Howard T. McMyler Memorial Lecture series is hosted by the Economics Department at Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management.

Howard T. McMyler, a 1906 graduate of Western Reserve University, served as a dedicated social studies and economics teacher in Cleveland. Following his passing in 1976, the Howard T. McMyler Endowment Fund was established in his honor.

The upcoming lecture features James B. Rebitzer, the Peter and Deborah Wexler Professor at Boston University's Questrom School of Business and founding chair of the department of Markets, Public Policy, and Law. Rebitzer, in collaboration with Robert Rebitzer, will delve into his new book, "WHY NOT BETTER AND CHEAPER?," offering fresh insights into the trajectory of healthcare innovation and strategies for directing innovation towards improvement.

Following the event, we will be holding a book signing and reception.
