On March 28, 2015 from 2-5 PM Eastern, the Schiller Institute will host a major event in Manhattan. In the weeks since the last such event, a dramatic change has occurred: Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland and Luxembourg have requested to be founding members of the AIIB, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank initiated by Chinese President Xi Jinping. This development has fundamentally transformed the global economic landscape and makes all the more possible the ability for the U.S. and Europe to play a constructive role in the new, global economic movement for development. These Schiller Institute events are a critical part of making this happen.
