The Boris Mints Institute has announced a landmark two-day virtual conference, to be hosted in partnership with the University of Vienna, entitled "The Future of Democratic, Economic and Political Institutions." The event will be held on Tuesday November 9th and Wednesday November 10th, 2021.

The Conference will bring together esteemed thought-leaders, Nobel Prize Laureates, and political trailblazers, to identify an "agenda for urgent transformation" to reform and modernize key democratic, economic, and political institutions. The first day will feature sessions on "The Future of Democracy" and the second day will focus on "The Future of the Economic Institutions of the Neo-Liberal Era."

Among the speakers setting out novel solutions for weaknesses in contemporary democracy, entrenched global inequality, and the resurgence of political populism are:

• Professor Paul Romer - Nobel Prize Laureate, professor of Economics at New York University and former Chief Economist of the World Bank;

• Professor Michael Kremer - Nobel Prize and Boris Mints Institute Prize Laureate, professor of Economics and Public Policy at the University of Chicago and founding director of the Development Innovation Lab at the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics;

• Professor Armen Darbinyan - Former Prime Minister of Armenia, rector of Russian-Armenian State University, and member of the Boris Mints Institute's International Advisory Board;

• Dr. Igor Lukšič - Former Prime Minister and former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro, associate professor at the University of Donja Gorica Podgorica and member of the Boris Mints Institute's International Advisory Board;

• Professor Anat Admati - Stanford Graduate School of Business;

• Professor Sergei K. Dubinin - Member of the VTB Capital Supervisory Board, Russia, and member of the Boris Mints Institute's International Advisory Board.

Dr. Boris Mints, Founder and President of the Boris Mints Institute, said "Given the rapid rate of global change, both technologically and socially, and the scale of current global challenges, there is an urgent need to transform and modernise the pillar institutions that underpin our international democratic, economic, and political systems. This landmark Conference brings together the best minds to tackle these vital issues head on. Our sincere hope at the Boris Mints Institute is that the Conference will set out a radical new agenda for transformation of global institutions for the benefit of global society."

Watch Post Commentary: Given what we know about the likelihood of a coming communist global system, any news that comes across one's desk about the future of democracy, especially if it also includes the idea of reinventing the economy, should raise red flags. Notice this story's emphasis on "transforming" and "modernising" the "pillar institutions that underpin our INTERNATIONAL" systems. The fact that this event is being hosted by an educational institution should also ring alarm bells. If you've been following the rapid decline of the American post secondary education system (i.e. colleges and universities) you're aware that they've largely become indoctrination factories for far left ideologies. Let's keep our eyes peeled for news about the outcome of this conference. One can only imagine the bad ideas that might be birthed there.
