Can the Open World Economy Be Saved?
Kevin Klowden, Ailish Campbell, Steven Ciobo, Ron Kirk, Henrique Meirelles
Moderated by Kevin Clowden of the Milken Institute, a panel of trade experts from Mexico, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Australia convened to address the global resurgence of protectionism and the economic anxiety driving political shifts. The discussion highlighted how nations like Australia and Canada leverage high-tech investment in natural resources and aggressive trade liberalization to sustain growth while acknowledging the need for robust social safety nets to counter automation-driven job displacement. Ultimately, the experts concluded that preserving an open world economy requires decoupling trade policy from job insecurity by prioritizing lifelong learning, institutional independence, and "flanking policies" that support workers facing structural economic changes.

A Glance through the Global Trade Window: Like the View?
Adrian Wooldridge, Ailish Campbell, Ian Goldin, William Lee, Rhonda Schmidtlein, David Walker
Panelists including Eilish Campbell, Bill Lee, Rhonda Smichline, and Ian Goldin examined the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement's role in establishing a template for future deals while debating how globalization's uneven economic impacts fuel political populism. The discussion highlighted that while trade has driven global wealth, its benefits were not adequately redistributed to domestic losers, leading experts to reject Universal Basic Income in favor of policies prioritizing labor mobility and adaptable education systems. Furthermore, the group analyzed the risks of protectionism and financial instability, concluding that prudent regulatory frameworks and open data flows remain essential for maintaining economic resilience against emerging technological disruptions.
