Global Pension Crisis II Set for January

September 3, 1999

In December 1997, the Cato Institute and The Economist magazine cosponsored Solving the Global Pension Crisis, an international conference held in London that focused attention on the need for countries around to globe to address the need for pension reform.

Following the success of the first conference, on January 27-28, 2000, Cato and The Economist will cosponsor Solving the Global Pension Crisis II: The Privatization Revolution, to be held in New York.

The conference participants will evaluate the experiences of countries that have privatized government pension plans, examine more recent moves toward privatization, and look at issues for the future both in the United States and abroad.

Invited speakers include:

  • Ed Crane, Cato Institute

  • Clive Crook, The Economist

  • Jose Pinera, President, International Center for Pension Reform

  • Sun Jianyong, Director, Rural Social Insurance Department, Peoples Republic of China

  • Milton Ezrati, Chief Investment Officer Nomura Capital Management

  • Scott Cook, Chairman, Intuit Corporation

  • Olivia Mitchell, Professor of Insurance and Risk Management, Wharton School

  • Leszek Balcerowicz, former Finance Minister, Poland

  • Felipe Ortiz, President, APOYO Institute, Peru

  • Monica Queisser, Senior Economist, World Bank

  • David Pottruck, President & CEO, Charles Schwab & Company

"The largely Cato Institute-staffed presidential commission owes its existence to the Cato Institute itself. For the last quarter of a century, the Washington, D.C.-based libertarian think tank has been campaigning for the privatization of Social Security."
