39] – On Feb. 11 at 7 PM at Politics and Prose, 610 Water St. SW, WDC 20024, check out The Doom Loop:  Why the World Economic Order is Spiraling into Disorder with author Eswar Prasad. Go to https://politics-prose.com/eswar-s-prasad

 The acclaimed economist and author of The Future of Money argues that the forces meant to stabilize the world’s economy are in fact driving global instability. Global economic power is shifting, liberal market-oriented democracies face growing domestic turmoil, and international trade and financial integration are crumbling. How did we get here?  Rather than promoting shared prosperity, globalization has instead deepened economic inequality, stoked political backlash, and prompted escalating trade wars. Institutions like the International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organization, founded to foster international cooperation, have failed to adapt to twenty-first-century realities. The rise of “middle power” countries like India, Brazil, and Indonesia once suggested a stable multipolar future, but today, such nations are increasingly forced to pick sides as the United States and China fight for global dominance.
