Student Awards in memoriam of Giovanni Andrea Cornia
 | Distinguished Professor of Development Economics Former Director UNU-WIDER and Chief Economist at UNICEF A special interest on Macroeconomics and Inequality Adjustment with a Human Face (2001) “‘Adjustment with a Human Face’ is the name we have given to the range of economic and other policy measures which we believe are needed. ‘Adjustment’ indicates that for most of the developing countries, these policies must be part and parcel of the national ‘adjustment’ policies widely adopted to tackle the economic crises facing these countries – the acute deficits in the balance of payments and the government budget, often also rapid inflation rates and negligible or negative economic growth. The ‘human face’ indicates the need for the human implications of an adjustment policy to be made an integral part of adjustment policy as a whole, not to be treated as an additional welfare component. (…) The call for a more people-sensitive approach to adjustment is more than matter of economic good sense or political expediency. Ultimately it rests on the ethic of human solidarity, of concern for others, of human response to human suffering.” |

Our Prize Sponsor: Who Are They?
Brigaldara is a winemaking treasure trove encompassing the diverse souls of Valpolicella. A comprehensive vision, an anthology of Valpolicella enriched by diverse perspectives. A thousand years of history, one hundred and twenty hectares of property, forty-seven of which are vineyards, spread across three different zones of the province of Verona: Valpolicella Classica, Valpantena, and Valpolicella Orientale. A historic family, the Cesaris, have owned it since 1928, committed to enhancing their rich and diverse viticultural heritage. A team of young winemakers and agronomists are dedicated to studying and customizing every intervention in the vineyard, to enhance the varietal expression of the terroirs and microterroirs that shape the diverse souls of the wines produced here.
