An Economy in Transition: A Conversation with Robert Kaplan

Описание: Nov. 09, 2023

Prospects for future American economic growth are uncertain. While technological advances, especially in artificial intelligence, are likely to result in rapid future growth, recent economic, demographic, social and political trends will negatively impact U.S. economic expansion. As the United States recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and historically high inflation rates, it must also deal with challenges such as unsustainable fiscal policy related to demographic changes, unwinding some of the effects of globalization, the impacts of innovation on the economy and the labor market, a faltering education system, competition from abroad, increasing inequality, and other challenges.

At Baker Hall on Nov. 9, Robert Kaplan explored the challenges and opportunities facing the United States economy. Kaplan is a former president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
