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?
