DESCRIPTION:Over the last twenty-five years Poland has transitioned from a
  perennially backward\, poor\, and peripheral country to unexpectedly join
  the ranks of the world's high income countries. Europe's Growth Champion 
 is about the lessons learned from Poland's remarkable experience\, the con
 ditions that keep countries poor\, and the challenges that countries need 
 to face in order to grow. It defines a new growth model that Poland and it
 s Eastern European peers need to adopt in order to continue to grow and ca
 tch up with their Western counterparts.\n\nEurope's Growth Champion emphas
 izes the importance of the fundamental sources of growth– institutions\,
  culture\, ideas\, and leaders– in economic development. It argues that 
 a shift from an extractive society\, where the few rule for the benefit of
  the few\, to an inclusive society\, where many rule for the benefit of ma
 ny\, was the key to Poland's success. It asserts that a newly emerged incl
 usive society will support further convergence of Poland and the rest of C
 entral and Eastern Europe with the West\, and help to sustain the region's
  Golden Age. It also acknowledges the future challenges that Poland faces\
 , and that moving to the core of the European economy will require further
  reforms and changes in Poland's developmental character.\nSpeakers:\nMarc
