New Date! ECIPE Seminar: Is the West Stagnating?

With Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, it is difficult to escape the feeling that “the West” is declining – and not just vis-à-vis other parts of the world. This year Europe will go through an election cycle with great risks of continued political upheaval. Economic growth may be improving, but neither Europe nor America are economies with spring in their step. Where’s the West heading – and why? Are Western voters rebelling against too much innovation and globalisation – or against too little change? Is the Western economy on the doorstep of a period of fast productivity growth – or is it rather on a trend of falling economic dynamism that will reduce economic opportunity and increase inequality?

Please join us for a panel discussion on the future of the Western economy and economic leadership.
