Who Controls America’s Economic Power? Economic Statecraft & the Federal Institutional Architecture

Описание: Are we looking far enough over the horizon to secure America’s economic future? In a world defined by rapid technological shifts and enmeshed global markets, reactive policy is no longer enough. To navigate the "Global Economic Reset," we must move beyond traditional trade policy and embrace a model of Strategic Foresight.

In this second session of the "War by Other Ledgers" Institute for Policy Studies and War on the Rocks move from the theory of economic competition to the foresight required for federal execution.

In this session, we explore:
🔹 The Authority Census: Identifying the federal entities that hold the keys to our long-term economic security.
🔹 Unified Vision: Moving from fragmented mandates to a cohesive national strategy built on foresight.
🔹 Offense vs. Defense: Prioritizing the projection of power while protecting our domestic innovation base.
🔹 Future-Proofing: What a federal structure built for 21st-century foresight actually looks like.

Dr. Will Norris – Associate Professor and Program Director for the Economic Statecraft Program at The Bush School, Texas A&M University.
