Linda Yueh's 2024 talks & topics
Ideas That Have Changed How We Live
Which economic ideas have most influenced the economy? Dr. Yueh discusses ideas from her book, What Would the Great Economists Do? She covers the battle of ideas through history, such as how the market economy overcame socialism in the 20th century and why we are now at a crossroads. The consensus about how to run the economy has broken down–Dr. Yueh explores why, and most importantly, she fashions solutions to reshape economic policies to make them work better for the 21st century.
Rise of China and its impact on Asia and the Rest of the World
Global Economic Prospects
What are the economic and geopolitical trends that are shaping the world? What should we look out for in terms of opportunities and risks? Dr. Yueh discusses the U.S., China, EU, emerging economies, and more. We live in an age of prosperity, which is likely to become a second golden age (the first was during the 1950s when Americans became prosperous). The emergence of a new global middle class and the digital era means there are more opportunities than ever before. But are we ready to seize them?
Country-Specific Economic Outlooks
The U.S., China, Brexit, the EU, emerging economies (e.g. Asia). Dr. Yueh can discuss one of these countries or several of them in pinpointed economic forecasts. What should we expect in the American/Chinese/British/European economies? What drives innovation in the digital age in America? Can China grow rich? What will Brexit mean? Will the euro last? Will developing Asian/emerging markets continue to grow well?
