Amb. Katherine Tai: Trade, Finance, & the Dollar in the Economic Multiverse

Study Group with Ambassador Katherine Tai: Everything Everywhere All at Once: Trade, Finance, and the Dollar in the Economic Multiverse

How do the trade policy actions, rhetoric, and signals of the second Trump administration connect with a larger strategy to transform the U.S. economy and its role in the world? Where is change and reform in the global economy's systems most needed? What could a new system look like and most importantly, whose interests should it serve?

In this session, Rohit Chopra – a leader in the fight against corporate “junk fees” and champion of the rights of consumers – will connect the dots between the micro- and macro-economic, domestic and international, trade and financial forces that reveal what is happening right now, what is at stake, and what our choices are going forward.

GUEST: Rohit Chopra, Former Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (2021-25) and former Commissioner, Federal Trade Commission (2018-21)

AUDIENCE: These conversations are open to members of the Harvard community. Please RSVP with a valid Harvard email address.
