Join us for a rare opportunity to hear from Nobel Laureate Daron Acemoglu, one of the world’s leading voices on democracy, institutions, and inclusive growth. In celebration of the 24th anniversary of the Inter-American Democratic Charter, this special event will explore the powerful intersection between democracy and prosperity in the Western Hemisphere.
