Please join us online for a discussion with Soumaya Keynes and Chad P. Bown on their new book How to Win a Trade War, available for pre-order.
Trade wars are here to stay, and refusing to engage in the fight is no longer an option. President Donald Trump's tariff announcements can crash markets and sour decades-long alliances. China's export restrictions on rare earths could bring the West's car production to a crashing halt. Curbs on trade in cutting-edge chips could determine who wins the artificial intelligence (AI) race. From identifying supply chain vulnerabilities to installing stockpiles, subsidies, and trade restrictions, governments and companies are responding with varied levels of skill and enthusiasm. Today's winners will be those who draw the appropriate insights from history, as well as from other players. For America and its allies, that often means learning from China.
The presentation will be followed by a dynamic conversation with Greg Ip, chief economics commentator at the Wall Street Journal, moderated by Chad P. Bown.
