I’ve just heard from Jacques Attali who is currently in Shanghai that he will need to be in New York on Thursday morning. This will make it impossible for him to give the lecture planned at the VUB on Wednesday April 17. I’m sure this will be especially disappointing for those of you for whom it was their second attempt at attending his talk.

The scheduled plan was that I would be giving the second part of the talk, I will thus give it all. I’ll be speaking on the arranged topic: “What can we tell about the future?” and I will explain why the future is particularly unpredictable for those few who, as is the case with Jacques Attali, hold a clearer view than most about where precisely we’re heading.

Hoping to see you in any case on Wednesday at 6:30 pm at the VUB in the Promotie Hall, building D, 2 Pleinlaan, 1050 Brussels.
