Book Talk: The World’s Worst Bet with David J. Lynch

Please join the CSIS Economics Program and Scholl Chair in International Business on Tuesday, September 9 from 10am-11am for a conversation with David J. Lynch about his new book, The World's Worst Bet: How the Globalization Gamble Went Wrong (And What Would Make It Right). The conversation will be followed by a book signing with the author from 11am-11:30am. The triumphant globalization that began in the 1990s has given way to a world riven by conflict, populism, and economic nationalism. In The World’s Worst Bet, David J. Lynch offers a trenchant, fast-paced narrative of the rise and fall of the greatest engine of prosperity the world has ever known. Lynch explains what went right, what went wrong, and what needs to change to preserve the benefits of global integration and to build prosperity for all Americans. Lynch brings a deep understanding of the forces affecting Americans’ lives to his portrayal of a fascinating cast of characters: presidents and policymakers; factory workers whose anger over lost jobs reshaped a nation’s politics; and the anti-globalization warriors of the right and left. Their stories show how the United States made a bad bet on globalization, gambling that it could enjoy its benefits while ignoring its costs: dislocated workers, vulnerable supply chains, and the rise of a powerful rival. With trillions of dollars now at stake, The World’s Worst Bet explains the failings of the past and offers an insightful guide to the opportunities of the future. David J. Lynch joined The Washington Post in November 2017 from the Financial Times, where he covered white-collar crime. He was previously a senior writer with Bloomberg News, focusing on the intersection of politics and economics. Earlier, he followed the global economy for USA Today, where he was the founding bureau chief in both London and Beijing. He covered the wars in Kosovo and Iraq, the latter as an embedded reporter with the U.S. Marines, and was the paper’s first recipient of a Nieman fellowship at Harvard University. He has reported from more than 60 countries. William Reinsch will moderate the discussion, which will be hosted in-person at CSIS with an accompanying online livestream.
