The U.S. and Global Economy: Near-Term Outlook. What forces can sustain economic recovery? What forces might restrain it? Are certain companies, industries, and countries better positioned to lead a recovery? This talk does not provide a single set of omniscient answers guaranteed to be right. The recent crisis has laid bare how inherently difficult economic forecasting is at all times – and especially now, amidst so many forces at play with few if any historical precedents. Instead, Slaughter provides a framework for answering these and other pressing questions with probabilities and scenarios, all based on key facts and insights from recent history with a conversation about three alternative scenarios of recovery – strong, tepid, or none.
The Long-Term Business-Policy Challenges Facing the United States. The United States now faces a collection of business-policy challenges the likes of which have not been seen since the Great Depression – if ever. Slaughter focuses on three especially big challenges: the size and scope of government in the U.S. economy, the absence of widely shared economic growth, and the stagnation of American skills. Whether and how the United States addresses these challenges by choice, and/or by the forced hand of international investors – will carry dramatic implications for America's future vitality. Slaughter frames these challenges, and discusses the possibility and probability of alternative futures – constructive and high-growth or divisive and low-growth?and proposes non-partisan ways to overcome them.
Global Economics 2020: What Vision Do You Have for Your Economic Future? To successfully lead companies into the future, executives need to understand both the underlying economics at hand and also the strategies that can create truly global organizations in terms of customers, resources and talent, and overall mindset. Slaughter examines the determinants of long-run growth, the microeconomics of comparative advantage, fluctuations in trade barriers, tax rates, and exchange rates, and the politics of globalization. The talk offers facts, frameworks, and insightful examples to help business and civic leaders determine what vision they need to formulate and implement a sustainable long-term strategy.
