Please join us for a conversation with Tendai Biti about his experience as the finance minister of Zimbabwe from 2009 to 2013. He will talk about the successes, challenges, and frustrations of trying to turn his country’s economy around in the face of hyperinflation, collapsing public institutions, and a precarious political coalition. This is a must-attend event for those interested in democracy, fragile states, and political courage.
