Held on February 22-23, 2018 at Princeton University, the conference explored how globalization has fueled greater global economic growth but has also been a highly disruptive force that has fed the rise of populism, the deepening of income inequality, the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment and the increase in financial systemic risk. What is the future of globalization and what policies can meet its challenges? Videos, papers presented, and corresponding slides are posted below. Selected photos from the conference are here.
