Historically speaking, we have lived in an unusual period of peace and global trade for the past 75 years. This world order was created post-WWII—and it is coming to an end. This lecture will explore the causes and the benefits of globalization and expose the tectonic shifts in world geopolitics causing the shift. What lies ahead? And what can we expect in the new world order? This data-filled lecture will outline the case for (and the consequences of) the end of globalization. It will outline the role the United States will play, the role China has played, and how are the two powers expected to react going forward.
Light snacks will be served!
