Defining Decade
2001-2011: Ten Years that Changed the World
It has been 10 years since the first WBUR Gala—an extraordinary decade that redefined the world. The United States embarked on two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; China became the the world’s second largest economy; The West suffered a crisis of credit and confidence; Social media became a means to connect with friends as well as a tool to subvert authoritarian regimes. How have we responded to this change andw hat does it mean to live 10 years after 9/11. We explore a defining decade.
