On Monday, Feb. 24, I'll be giving a talk about my book, The Contest for Japan's Economic Future, at Columbia University's Center of the Japanese Economy and Business. It's entitled "Resurrecting Entrepreneurship to Revive Japan." The talk is from 12:45 - 1:45 PM and is open to the public, but it will not be live-streamed.

On Wednesday, March 5th, I'll be part of a panel sponsored by the Japan Society of Northern California in San Francisco entitled, "The Future of the Japanese Economy: Is the Sun Rising Again?" It will be led off by former Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, speaking online. Then, I, and possibly a third speaker, will make brief presentations in person. This will be followed by a panel discussion amongst each other and the moderator, Japan Society Chair Larry Greenwood, and then with the audience. The event will run from 4 pm to 6 pm (9-11 Thursday morning in Japan). It will be live-streamed and requires registration.
