The current state of the global economy is marked by significant uncertainty and change, driven by geopolitical tensions, evolving supply chains, and shifting economic priorities. After years of globalized trade liberalization, protectionist ideas have resurfaced, with possible trade wars and tariffs that could affect industries and consumers worldwide.
Join the ACG and 1014 for a virtual discussion with Benn Steil, director of international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, and Rolf Langhammer, former Vice-President of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy on these protectionist trends and their impact on the global economy.
This event is part of a new series with the American Council on Germany titled Hot Topics, Cold Realities, where we will be exploring themes that are shaping the current political, economic, and social debates on both sides of the Atlantic.
