Strained Bedfellows: What We Can Do to Make Open Economies Inclusive
Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Singapore’s deputy prime minister and coordinating minister for economic and social policies, delivers the 18th Annual Stavros Niarchos Foundation Lecture on “Strained Bedfellows: What We Can Do to Make Open Economies Inclusive” on May 30, 2018, at the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE). Deputy Prime Minister Tharman offers his analysis of why globalization and social inclusiveness have been increasingly at odds, how they are each indispensable for national well-being and global peace, and how the paths to achieve both require a new ambition for the state. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Lecture has been presented at PIIE in previous years by such noted economists turned global policymakers as Agustín Carstens, Alan Greenspan, Mervyn King, Mario Monti, Lawrence Summers, Jean-Claude Trichet, Long Yongtu, and Ernesto Zedillo. PIIE's signature annual event is made possible by the generous ongoing support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
