Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government

Lawrence H. Summers is the Weil Director at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business & Government. Now more than ever, government policy and private sector activity are at critical points both domestically and abroad. The shock of the financial crisis, the shifts in the distribution of global economic power, and the changes being brought about by information technology combine to make this an unusually important moment to reexamine traditional assumptions about economic policy and the relationship between the public and private sectors. The Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business & Government (M-RCBG) is uniquely positioned to play a critical role in this process as an incubator of ideas informing policy-based solutions and as a focal point of engagement for faculty and students, many of whom will play important roles in addressing the problems which confront us today.
