Kenneth Feinberg: What’s a life worth?

Kenneth R. Feinberg joins #Purdue President Mitch Daniels for a conversation on his role overseeing billions of dollars in victims’ compensation funds following tragedies that include the BP Deepwater Horizon Gulf oil spill, the Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook shootings, the Boston Marathon bombing and, most notably, the 9/11 terrorist attacks. 

Feinberg’s work was the inspiration for the 2020 #Netflix original film “Worth,” which was adapted from Feinberg’s 2005 book, “What is Life Worth?”

This event was recorded in Stewart Center's Loeb Playhouse on Purdue campus.
