SAIS Event

Join alumni for this fabulous evening at the Downtown Harvard Club, 1 Federal Street, Boston. In Peace Through Entrepreneurship, (Brookings Press; on sale August 30, 2016), Steven R. Koltai argues that joblessness – not religious or cultural conflict – is the root cause of the unrest, extremism, and terror that vexes American foreign policy and threatens American security. And he offers a new solution based on a quintessentially American value and underutilized foreign policy tool: entrepreneurship. As the first Senior Advisor for Entrepreneurship under Secretary Hillary Clinton at the State Department, Koltai not only sets forth why this is good policy, but how the US Government can do it better. Admission is $17 for WorldBoston members and SAIS Alumni and $27 for general admission. A trio of the Harvard Club’s delicious chowder will be served! Books will be available for purchase following the discussion, and can be signed by the author.
