Urgent Insight: Abe's High-Stakes Gamble

  • Old Bar, Imperial Hotel, Tokyo Japan (map)

An Exclusive, Informal Discussion with Leading Experts

​I am absolutely delighted to announce an urgent, exclusive event for DN members only.

Join us for an informal, small-group discussion as we dive deep into the tumultuous past month for Prime Minister Abe. With the surprise call for a snap election two years ahead of schedule, the air is thick with questions. Has Abe gone mad, given his humiliation in Okinawa, the dreadful GDP figures jeopardizing his economic strategy, and the extraordinarily bad global news?

Schedule

6:00 pm Opening Remarks

6:15 pm Discussion Michael Cucek

6:30 pm Discussion Robert Madsen

6:45 pm General Q&A

7:30 pm Event Ends(Attendees may stay to chat afterwards)

​We are privileged to host two exceptional minds to dissect this critical moment: DN advisor, hedge fund consultant, and international finance guru Robert Madsen of MIT, and the wonderful Michael Cucek, adjunct Fellow of Temple University, renowned for his granular interpretation of Japanese politics. Robert is on a flying visit, hence the short notice.

Is this the beginning of the end for Abe, or just of Abenomics? This intimate setting is designed for a robust exchange of views. Please let me know if you can make it as soon as possible. DN will cover the first round of drinks!
