    Dani Rodrik Keynote Topics

    Dani Rodrik presents a persuasive argument against the dominant narrative of globalization and emphasizes the significance of the nation-state. He suggests that in the face of inevitable conflicts between the social arrangements of democracies and the international demands of globalization, national priorities should be prioritized, and advocates for a system of customizable globalization that is underpinned by a light framework of international rules, ultimately leading to balanced prosperity amidst the current challenges of global trade, finance, and labor markets.

    Dani Rodrik critiques the excessive economic globalization that has led to a populist backlash and the resurgence of the nation-state, which was once deemed irrelevant. By examining the experiences of developed nations, the eurozone, and developing nations, Rodrik offers a reasonable explanation for why the elite and technocrats' obsession with hyper-globalization has impeded nations' ability to achieve legitimate economic and social objectives. He suggests new ideas for reconciling these inequitable trends with liberal democracy and social inclusion, pointing the way forward.

    The rise of economic inequality is one of the most pressing issues of our time, with the wealthiest 1% in the United States now owning approximately 40% of the wealth compared to 25% in the late 1970s. The percentage of children who earn more than their parents has decreased significantly from 90% in the 1940s to around 50% presently. Dani Rodrik offers optimism by presenting the various tools available to reverse the trend of inequality and discuss which methods are most effective for achieving this goal.
