Speaker: Julian Gewirtz ’13 Julian Gewirtz will discuss his forthcoming book,[ Unlikely Partners: Chinese Reformers, Western Economists, and the Making of Global China](https://www.amazon.com/Unlikely-Partners-Chinese-Reformers-Economists/dp/0674971132/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1), which Harvard University Press will publish in January. Writing for [the New Yorker](http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-cost-of-the-cultural-revolution-fifty-years-later), Evan Osnos summarizes: “The book tells the little-known story of how Chinese intellectuals and leaders, facing a ruined economy at the end of the Cultural Revolution, sought the help of foreign economists to rebuild. Between 1976 and 1993, in a series of exchanges, conferences, and collaborations, Western intellectuals sought not to change China but to help it change itself, and they made indispensable contributions to China’s rise as a global economic power.”
