S2-09 I Financial markets, democracy and power with Jim Leitner Breaking the Fever

What’s the relationship between democracy and market performance?

Starting from his experience in Russia after the end of the Soviet Union, moving to his observations on ancient Greece, and then his work examining the role of women in societal success, Jim Leitner gives us many lessons and much to chew on the question of how markets tend to reward those states that make democratic reforms.

James Leitner serves as President of Falcon Management Corporation, a family office. He established the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice at Fordham Law School, an innovative Think-and-Do Tank that aims to make international human rights protections an everyday reality for marginalized communities worldwide.

Books recommendation by Jim:

Catharine A. MacKinnon "Butterly politics"
