In the past two decades, Latin America has gone through a renaissance.

"This renaissance could continue for many decades, transforming most Latin American countries into highly developed, socially more equal and deeply democratic societies," says Alejandro Toledo, former President of Peru. "Hard work, planning, and serendipity have led us to a time and place where we have a historic opportunity to make a giant leap forward."

According to the UN, with the discovery of new oil and mineral deposits and increases in energy exports, manufacturing and tourism, Latin America's economic growth and development will only continue, foreign investment will increase, and the region's global influence will become greater and greater.

In his book The Shared Society, Dr. Toledo, a Stanford economist whose tenure as president of Peru helped spur its economic renaissance, develops a plan for a future Latin America in which its population is not only much better off economically than today, but in which the vast 40 percent of the region's poor and marginalized are incorporated into a rising middle class, its democratic institutions work more effectively, and its extraordinary ecosystem is preserved.

Please join IIE and the United Nations Association for an evening with Dr. Toledo, and listen as he provides a visionary manifesto and blueprint for creating that just, sustainable, and prosperous shared society. Read more...
