The content of this interview is related to the present government, because Somkid Jatusripitak, deputy prime minister and head of the Thai economic cabinet, has taken on Professor Wasi’s Pracharat development policy as part of the national agenda.Another highlight is the exclusive speech of Dr Kobsak Pootrakul on the topic “Wisdom in Crisis”, given to Elite+ subscribers and advertisers at our recent anniversary event.
