Great Decisions Discussion Group: U.S. Changing Leadership of the World Economy (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Join us for a guided discussion of topical world affairs. Check out related materials in advance at the library or drop in for the discussion.

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?
