'A global star ... given his track record as a zeitgeist thermometer, we should all
pay attention'- Financial Times
The world in 2019 is looking increasingly chaotic and unpredictable. Trump has
declared a 'national emergency' over immigration at America's southern border.
A humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in Venezuela, forcing the US to
EFTA01034313
consider the option of military intervention. Britain is on the brink of a chaotic
no-deal Brexit. Tensions between China and the West have skyrocketed after
Trump's trade war and the Huawei dispute. So who better to make sense of
these unsettling and fast-changing times than Thomas Friedman, a writer
described as 'the most influential columnist in America'? A three-time Pulitzer
Prize-winner and columnist on The New York Times, Friedman has been at the
forefront of geopolitical and economic upheaval for nearly 40 years, from the
first Lebanon War to the collapse of Lehman Brothers. He has written a series
of bestselling books laying out the implications of globalisation, climate change
and technological advance.
Coming to the Intelligence Squared stage on April 3rd Friedman will bring his
wisdom and insight to the world's current predicaments: How should the West
respond to an emboldened China? How do we rebuild the global economy so
that it creates prosperity for everyone, not just the few? And how, above all,
should we handle the tectonic shifts — technological, demographic and political
— that are reshaping our world today?
