Trends in Trade and Globalization

David Steven Jacoby, author of Trump, Trade, and the End of Globalization, will explain the causes of today’s stresses on the world trading system, and, with consideration for the pros and cons of various directions that have been proposed by politicians and economists, he will summarize the three scenarios evaluated in his book, outline the shape of a new global trade order, and specify the role that the US and other mature economies could and should play in it.

Dinner will be served following the talk.
