Should America Fear Trade
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

Event Description:
Anxiety about trade is on the rise in the United States, and protectionist momentum is building.  Many believe that the Democratic Congress has an opportunity to change the course of US trade policy -- but it's not at all clear what course they should be setting.  From outsourcing, to the trade deficit, to American competitiveness, which concerns about trade are justified and which are overblown?  From wage insurance, to tariffs, to worker retraining programs, which policy measures make the most sense (both economically and electorally) in addressing fears about open markets?  We are delighted to welcome Adam Posen from the Peterson Institute for International Economics and Bruce Stokes of the National Journal for what should be a lively discussion of these critical issues.
