The Hungarian Parliament, on the Pest side of Budapest
I’ve had some good meetings, including dinner with Dr. Lajos Bokros, former finance minister of Hungary and now professor of economics and chief operating officer at Central European University. (Lajos spoke brilliantly at the October 2006 Cato conference on “Freedom, Commerce, and Peace: A Regional Agenda.”)
Moreover, it’s hard to imagine that it has been so long since I was last in Budapest, which is one of the most beautiful and livable cities in the world. (The food is also great, especially when eaten surrounded by the sounds of one of the most wonderful languages spoken anywhere.)
