The global economy has entered an age of confusion, roiled by trade wars and technology as it gained its post-pandemic footing. The global rise of populism and an AI-fueled market surge further complicate the story. The result? A world that feels less predictable, less secure, and far harder to govern.
What explains the breakdown of the old order? Can the U.S. and China coexist without destabilizing the global system? What is the future of democratic capitalism ? Where do tariffs and industrial policy help or harm? And what kind of international framework could emerge from this era of disorder?
Join us for a conversation with Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times, as we examine what a world in economic disorder means for the future of growth, stability, and international cooperation.
