Business, Ethics and Entrepreneurship Program

Economic freedom and political freedom are bound together and are mutually reinforcing. This program addresses the urgent need to promote transparency and fight corruption in the region. At the same time, it seeks to overcome the suspicion of free markets and hostility toward businessmen that is still present in the local culture, showing that ethical behavior makes markets function better while restraining their excesses.
