Economists as Leaders
hubErT (InterContinental Praha) / Session Type: PAPEr PrEsEnTATIOns / Accepted by MIG(s): sChOLArshIP
where we see economic transitions, we find economists. the question which naturally arises is whether the economists
are really leaders or simply rationalizers of a process which would have gone on without them. these papers consider four
important cases of economists in positions of leadership.

this paper examines f. a. hayek’s leadership role in the Mont pelerin society, specifically focusing on the role of hayek and the
society itself in transforming a conservative movement into one that was cosmopolitan, egalitarian, and liberal.

Economists in Post-Communist Transitions
throughout 1990s, there was a considerable divergence in ways in which countries of the former soviet bloc approached their
transitions to democracies and market economies. this paper investigates the extent these divergent trajectories arose from
underlying institutional and cultural differences and to which extent they were influenced by variation in political leadership.
It explores how and if economic policies affect economic outcomes.
