Chrystia Freeland, former deputy prime minister of Canada, delivers a special O. John Olcay Lecture on Ethics and Economics in a conversation about her new book, Unreliable Boyfriend.
Drawing on her years at the highest levels of government, Freeland offers a candid, deeply personal account of power, politics, and globalization. As a former journalist, she brings a reporter's perspective to her own political journey, her encounters with authoritarians and plutocrats, the evolving US-Canada relationship, and the challenges facing liberal democracy.
The discussion explores the insights and experiences behind the book, offering a distinctive perspective on American politics, international relations, and the future of the global order. Adam S. Posen, president of the Peterson Institute, offers introductory remarks, followed by a fireside conversation moderated by Cecilia Malmström, PIIE nonresident senior fellow and former European commissioner for trade.
