In Conversation with Sergei Guriev: Spin Dictators and Rising Tensions with Russia

We were honoured to welcome Sergei Guriev, Provost of Sciences Po and Professor of Economics, for a fireside chat with Elias Papaioannou, LBS Professor of Economics and Co-Academic Director of the Wheeler Institute for Business and Development. Together they discussed the current conflict in Ukraine, the political environment and economy in Russia and the wider impact of the conflict in Europe, developing countries and the world economy more broadly. Sergei’s latest book Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century, focuses on how a new breed of dictators holds power by manipulating information and faking democracy.
