January 29 - U.S. changing leadership of the world economy will be led by Jim Nowacki.
Under President Biden, the U.S. has advanced new ideas about trade, technology, industrial policy, competition with China, and the organization of the world economy. For most of the postwar era, the U.S. has tied its global leadership to cooperative agendas aimed at creating a more open world trading system, but that has apparently come to an end. What are America’s options and opportunities as a leader of the world economy? How will America’s “foreign policy for the middle class” and strategic competition with China impact its leadership role? How can the postwar rules and institutions of the world economy be made safe for economic nationalism and great power competition?

Participants read an article in the Foreign Policy Association briefing book, which can be purchased for $30 or borrowed from the library.  We meet, view a related video, and discuss the briefed questions on eight consecutive Wednesday afternoons.
