Event Notes
Former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo (2001-2006) speaks on his experience leading Peru after the fall of Fujimori.
Toledo rose from a humble indigenous campesino background to earn a PhD at Stanford University, become a business school professor in Peru, consult with the UN and World Bank, and enter politics in Peru. He protested Fujimori’s third term, and won the presidency in 2001. He achieved economic growth and low inflation, but stubborn poverty and unemployment led to popular discontent.
