Done with Work for a Few Hours

I finished up — more or less — my Kyiv trip last night with a talk on the economic crisis facing Ukraine (and it’s very a worrisome situation, indeed) and a reception for the Atlas Economic Research Foundation and the Mercurius Society, which had its first meeting for young businesspeople Thursday evening in Kyiv. I had some very good meetings with members of the Rada and with the former Finance Minister, with think tank leaders, with business people, with journalists, and with students. Today I’m working on editing videos on free trade and will have some meetings this afternoon. (Then I’ll get away to the Lavra monastery for a bit of time to myself.)
