The former Prime Minister of Haiti, Laurent Lamothe, visited Â鶹´«Ã½ to discuss new methods of economic development for the future of multilateral international relations. Mr. Lamothe shared his experiences using technology as a resource to help the country recover from the 2010 earthquake that produced a humanitarian crisis. The former PM also addressed the importance of private equity, but warned of the costs of long-term aid assistance that build dependency among suffering populations and eventually crowd out domestic business.
Â鶹´«Ã½'s Center for Digital Liberal Arts filmed the lecture, which is published for community viewing .
And, here is Oxy's Newsroom coverage of the event, featuring key quotes from the lecture.
