4 September, 2015
From Tahir to Maidan to the Parthenon, governments struggle to reconcile the demands of their population with the realities of the global marketplace. How can societies reconcile democratic governance with often unrealistic expectations for immediate gratification? What can educators and civil society do to create the broad-based economic literacy required to reconcile free and fair elections with the often painful strategies necessary for long-term growth?
