Harvard Book Store is very pleased to welcome economist and bestselling author DAMBISA MOYO and she discusses America's economic future and her new book, How the West Was Lost: Fifty Years of Economic Folly—and the Stark Choices Ahead.
Amid the hype of China’s rise to global power, the most important story of our generation is being pushed aside: how America’s rapidly growing population of the unskilled, unemployed, and disaffected threatens the nation’s wealth and stature.
In How the West Was Lost, Dambisa Moyo sheds light on how a host of shortsighted policy decisions have left the economic seesaw poised to tip away from America and toward the emerging world. Faced with this impending calamity, the United States can choose either to remain open to the international economy or to close itself off, adopting protectionist policies that will give the country time and space to redress these pervasive structural problems.
Walking from the Harvard Square T station: 2 minutes
