The realities of economic security

The Peterson Institute for International Economics presents a high-level analytical discussion of the realities of economic security, examining real-world trade-offs and vulnerabilities in today's geopolitically fractured world.

Anjali Bhatt, host of PIIE Insider Live, moderates a candid discussion with PIIE experts: Warwick McKibbin, who gives an overview of the meaning of economic security, what it depends on, and what threatens economic security particularly in the United States; Cullen Hendrix, who discusses vulnerabilities of the global economy to the disrupted supply of commodities including food, fuel, and industrial inputs; and Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, who explores Europe's strategic economic policy choices between resilience and autonomy (see also his Foreign Affairs essay, "Europe Is Stuck With America").

A moderated discussion and Q&A session follows.
