[Daviscenter-list] Zaleski Lecture: "Post Communist Transition in Comparative Perspective"

The Center for European Studies at Harvard University, the Harvard History Department, and the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard cordially invite you: Zaleski Lecture: "Post Communist Transition in Comparative Perspective" a public lecture by LESZEK BALCEROWICZ, former chairman of the National Bank of Poland "Balcerowicz is a genuine hero--a man of principle, perseverance and courage who as finance minister, deputy prime minister and head of Poland's central bank managed the turnaround of one of Europe's poorest and most dysfunctional economies. While his 'shock therapy' for the Polish economy in the early 1990s was risky and painful, it produced some of the strongest growth and lowest inflation on the continent." -Washington Post, April 11, 2007 Thursday, February 21, 2008 4:15-6:00pm Busch Hall, Lower Level Conference Room 27 Kirkland Street Cambridge, MA 02138 Directions http://www.ces.fas.harvard.edu/about/directions.html For further information http://www.ces.fas.harvard.edu 617-495-4303 x240 Jason Beerman beerman(a)fas.harvard.edu -- ---------------------------------------------- Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies Harvard University 1730 Cambridge Street, 3rd Floor, Suite 301 Cambridge, MA 02138 Phone: 617.495.4037 Fax: 617.495.8319 http://www.daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu
