Join the Library and local experts as they look at nine of the most significant and far-reaching challenges facing the world. Each meeting begins with a video lecture followed by a facilitator-led discussion. Reading the Great Decisions Briefing Book is optional.
Topic Description: The current discussion of industrial policy in the United States is not simply about whether or not to support specific companies or industries, but about trust or mistrust of the government and its ability to manage the economy and deal with a rising China. The upheaval in supply chains during the pandemic exposed weaknesses in the international economy. What policies can the United States implement to deal with trade and the economy?
Facilitator: David Jaffee, PhD from the University of North Florida
