BOSTON, MA, October 18, 2023 — LIM was delighted to host Jeff Fuhrer in our office to discuss his recent book, The Myth That Made Us: How False Beliefs about Racism and Meritocracy Broke Our Economy (and How to Fix It). Jeff is the former Executive Vice President and Director of Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston where he was also responsible for overseeing the bank’s diversity and inclusion functions. LIM employees enjoyed an engaging, thought-provoking conversation and appreciated Jeff’s perspectives on the economic challenges and resultant opportunities stemming from persistent gender and racial inequity.

We look forward to Jeff’s next visit and wish him the best of luck on his book tour!
