Abstract

March 8, 2017, 4:00 p.m., Senate Room
Professors Grzegorz W. Kolodko and Andrzej K. Kozminski invite you to a debate on the "New Pragmatism versus New Nationalism". Whither the world? Is it unavoidably moving towards a "new nationalism"? Is the greed of those who today have the most resources and power going to win, or will we be able to fairly share the resources and fruits of economic growth? Is the New Pragmatism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_pragmatism) a way to solve the biggest problems of the future world?
