About This Event

Geopolitical tensions, shifting alliances, and strategic competition are undoubtedly key forces in shaping global markets and trade. Will the current administration’s rhetoric on trade and tariffs become a reality, or is it a bargaining tactic for future negotiations? Will emerging markets, technological advancements, and green investments present new opportunities for growth, or will they widen economic inequality? Join us for a conversation with Joyce Chang, Phil Levy, and Diane Swonk on the economic risks and opportunities that are reshaping the global economy.
