The adventurous journey of a young, bright economics student to Cambridge — from regular mentoring sessions with Vilmos Csányi to an admission interview with a mysterious English gentleman. We spoke with Dávid-Barrett Tamás, an evolutionary behavioral researcher teaching at Oxford, who studied at Corvinus in the early ’90s before continuing at Cambridge on a scholarship. Specializing in macroeconomics, Dávid-Barrett later founded an international analyst-consulting firm. In the early 2000s, his team monitored changes in 35 countries and advised several developing nations’ governments. In 2005, his team was the first in the world to predict the approaching global financial crisis — though no one believed them then. Later, Dávid-Barrett shifted his focus more toward evolutionary behavioral research. He returned to his alma mater on the occasion of the Hungarian release of his book Gendered Species – A Natural History of Patriarchy.

The nomination period runs from June 2 to June 6. Voting will take place between June 9 and 13.
