Description :
The world economy has been evolving for a long time. This talk will briefly review how and then discuss five key features of the contemporary world economy. If and how they are being reframed or upended by US policy will be analysed. The talk will conclude with some observations on the future of the world economy in light of U.S.-China geoeconomic rivalry.
