The Future of Globalization: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Professor Dani Rodrik

We are entering a new era for the world economy, as the pandemic, geopolitics, climate change, and the demands of domestic social and political agendas have overwhelmed the hyper-globalization “consensus” that prevailed until recently. In this year's Tore Browaldh Lecture, Dani Rodrik, Professor at Harvard University, will sketch out possible futures for globalization. Dani Rodrik is Ford Foundation Professor of International Political Economy at the Harvard Kennedy School. He has published widely in the areas of economic development, international economics, and political economy.

Hirschman Prize of the SSRC and the Princess of Asturias Award for Social Sciences.

His newest books are Combating Inequality: Rethinking Government’s Role (2021, edited with Oliver Blanchard) and Straight Talk on Trade: Ideas for a Sane World Economy (2017).
