The New Financial Geopolitics: How Long Can the US Keep Going as the Lender, Leader, and Reserve Asset of Last Resort?

PANEL 4: DISTRIBUTIONAL DILEMMAS

Does the growth of US domestic finance, and the massive inequality skew that it generates, sustain or undermine the US financial order? Does ‘the rise of the rest’ at the same time as ‘the stagnation of the developed middle’ have consequences for the global order? Are global governors, especially central bankers, up to the task of stabilizing the system? Panelists: Branko Milanovic (CUNY), Sir Paul Tucker (Harvard, Kennedy School and Chair, Systemic Risk Council), Jacqueline Best (University of Ottawa), Sandy Hager (City University) [March 24, 2017]
