The Canon Institute for Global Studies (CIGS) hosted a seminar on January 31, 2017 inviting Professor Jay K. Rosengard from Harvard Kennedy School. This is the summary of speech and Q&A.
Abstract of the Speech
Donald Trump has vowed to "Make America Great Again" by vigorously implementing Trumpenomics, a combination of: 1) substantial tax cuts for all taxpayers; 2) significant spending increases on national defense, border security, and domestic infrastructure; and 3) widespread government deregulation. Is this vision a dream or a delusion? What are the promised gains from Trumpenomics and what are the threats to realizing these benefits? Prof. Rosengard will place Trumpeconomics in the context of America's current political economy and explore the prospects for its success.
