Another Day of Meetings... My day started with meetings at Americans for Tax Reform. I also got to speak at the so-called Wednesday meeting of the center-right coalition. Very good for making contacts and exchanging information.

Then, I visited the people at the Centre for European Policy Studies, a new and very promising think-tank. I can recommend their Central Europe Digest newsletter, and of course their soon more frequent longer studies. They just had Leszek Balcerovicz, former Finance Minister and later Head of the Central Bank of Poland there as a speaker. He apparently likes my book "European Dawn".

Last, but not least, a meeting with the Swedish Ambassador Gunnar Lund in the new Sweden House in Washington Harbour in Georgetown (worth a visit!). For my research into reform strategy, his experience of economic reform and also the role of the EU can provide very interesting information.
