Mapping the Economic and Financial Future
July 06, 2011
A new Atlantic Council report summarizes two years’ worth of rich and deep discussions from our “Mapping the Economic and Financial Future” speakers’ forum. Our Global Business and Economics Program has partnered with Deutsche Bank on this important initiative to help build the intellectual foundation for understanding the financial crisis, and drive the debate on how the global economy can return to growth.
Drawing on the expertise of top minds in business, government, and global financial institutions, the report defines the causes of the crisis, assesses the effects, and identifies solutions. The major findings include:
- Political leadership will define success or failure: Politicians must see and act globally, making the domestic case for a strong, stable, and safe global economic framework.
- Competitiveness is the path toward balanced growth: Growth will come from far-sighted, long-term investments in education and innovation, which will reorient economies towards the industries of the future.
- The financial sector is a means, not an end: Defining the role of our financial sector will help determine our priorities for reform.
We hope you will find our insights and recommendations helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact Garrett Workman, Assistant Director of Global Business and Economics at gworkman@acus.org or (202) 778-4963 with questions and comments, or to be informed of future events.
