A conversation in NY on U.S. politics, the economy, globalization, and Futurecast - May 5

With the United States currently facing critical domestic and international challenges - a looming recession, debates over trade liberalization and immigration policies, the race for the White House, rising energy and food prices, and this summer's historic Beijing Olympics – a conversation on where the United States is headed is in order.

We hope that you can join NDN's experts - Dr. Robert Shapiro, Chair of NDN’s Globalization Initiative, and Simon Rosenberg, NDN President - for this far-reaching discussion on U.S. politics, the economy, globalization, and world affairs at large. NDN will host this gathering as part of the Bernard Schwartz Forums on Economic Policy on the evening of May 5 at the Harvard Club of New York City.

As some of you may know, Simon just returned from the World Economic Forum on Latin America in Mexico and was a speaker at the Herzliya Conference in Israel in January. And Rob just released Futurecast: How Superpowers, Populations, and Globalization Will Change the Way You Live and Work, a new book that charts the next dozen years of international progress and struggles, national triumphs and declines. President Bill Clinton has called Futurecast “prescient … insightful… a vital resource.” Rob is currently in London promoting Futurecast, meeting with members of the U.K. government, and taking part in a forum with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

We look forward to having you join Simon and Rob for this important discussion on U.S. politics, the economy, globalization, and world affairs.
