The Global Economy in the Era of Trump: Drift or Mastery? – Paul Tiffany

The U.S. elections of both 2016 and 2018 have created a potentially massive shift in American policy, both domestic and global. The President has staked out positions radically different from those of the post-World War II “Washington Consensus.” Will a “New World Order” of “economic nationalism” now follow? Or will Trumpism result in only a brief deviation from the liberalization of trade (and global politics) of the recent past? This session will explore the implications these upheavals hold for both U.S. firms as well as its citizens in the era of President Trump.
