Festival of Economics: Ha-Joon Chang, What Next After Globalisation?
By Bristol Ideas
Globalisation is being questioned like never before in 2020 – trade and the security of supply chains have become a front-line concern for every family. Leading economist Ha-Joon Chang will look at the big shifts ahead in the global economy, casting a sceptical eye on conventional wisdom. Is trade an insurance mechanism, connecting us with others, or is it a risk in a world threatened by pandemics? Is globalisation unravelling? Is the world’s centre of economic gravity moving to Asia as the US declines and China exerts its influence? What are the post-pandemic prospects for the poorest countries in the world?
A selection of Ha-Joon Chang's books are available to buy from our bookselling partners Waterstones here.
In our ninth Festival of Economics, co-programmed by Diane Coyle and Richard Davies, economists and experts from around the world debate with each other – and their audiences – some of the key economic questions of our time.
It's important to us that ideas and debate are affordable to everyone. It's also important that our commentators, artists, writers, poets and thinkers are paid. This is a Pay What You Can event. You are invited to choose your own contribution to the event, from £0 to £8. All proceeds go towards supporting our speakers and sustaining Festival of Ideas. The option to attend for free is available for all online events.
