Nick is back and ready to talk about Ina's Memoir! (Well, at least the first three chapters). Before diving in, Nick talks about his new job, a recent trip to Wendy's, and the new queen of Christmas, Kelly Clarkson. Then it's time to dive into Ina's tumultuous early childhood and the early years of Jeffrey and Ina's serendipitous rendezvous with Jeffrey Garten outside of the Dartmouth Library. How fabulous is THAT?
In 1971, the United States was at a crossroads: The economy was stagnating, inflation was high and Americans were starting to feel like they were losing their competitive edge. Sound familiar? In the second episode of our two-part series on inflation, we return to a conversation between NPR's Chief Economics Correspondent Scott Horsley and Jeffrey Garten, an influential economist who served in multiple presidential administrations. They explore Nixon's consequential decision to abandon the gold standard, how this move created the modern global economy, and what this can tell us about inflation and fears of a recession. Guest: Jeffrey E Garten, Dean Emeritus, Yale School of Management, former Undersecretary of Commerce, and author of Three Days at Camp David: How a Secret Meeting in 1971 Transformed the Global Economy Hosts: Philip Yun, host of World Affairs Scott Horsley, NPR's Chief Economics Correspondent

On a Sunday night in 1971, many Americans were at home watching “Bonanza” when President Nixon interrupted the broadcast to share some urgent news. He was taking the US off the gold standard, a move that completely upended the world's economic order and became part of a series of policy changes that became known as “the Nixon Shock.” In this episode, NPR's Chief Economics Correspondent Scott Horsley talks with Jeffrey Garten, former Undersecretary of Commerce in the Clinton Administration, about what this move meant for the US economy and its implications today. Guests: Scott Horsley, NPR's Chief Economics Correspondent; Jeffrey E Garten, Dean Emeritus, Yale School of Management, former Undersecretary of Commerce, and author of Three Days at Camp David: How a Secret Meeting in 1971 Transformed the Global Economy Host: Philip Yun, President and CEO, World Affairs If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to WorldAffairs.

Fifty years ago today, President Nixon addressed the nation on television to announce “the most comprehensive new economic policy to be undertaken in this nation in four decades.” Jeffrey Garten, the former dean of the Yale School of Management and Undersecretary of Commerce in the Clinton administration chronicles the August 1971 meeting at Camp David, where President Nixon unilaterally ended the last vestiges of the gold standard—breaking the link between gold and the dollar—transforming the entire global monetary system. He is the author of the book, "Three Days at Camp David: How a Secret Meeting in 1971 Transformed the Global Economy.” Purchase the book at the Nixon Library Store: https://bit.ly/37GxuwK Interview by Frank Gannon.

Jeffrey Garten was Dean of the Yale School of Management until 2005, before that Undersecretary of Commerce for International Trade, and before that a Wall Street investment banker. In his new book, Three Days at Camp David: How a Secret Meeting in 1971 Transformed the Global Economy, he tells a detailed narrative of the forces and protagonists that led up to the “Nixon Shock” and the breakdown in the gold standard that altered the post-war economic order. In a conversation with Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak, BCG's global chief economist, Garten argues that the “Nixon Shock” was the right decision, and that the US is experiencing many similar pressures today, and that — while calling a turning point is difficult — the global monetary order may be nearing one. *** About the BCG Henderson Institute The BCG Henderson Institute is the Boston Consulting Group's think tank, dedicated to exploring and developing valuable new insights from business, technology, economics, and science by embracing the powerful technology of ideas.

Fisher and Garten will discuss Garten's new book, THREE DAYS AT CAMP DAVID, which describes how and why the Nixon administration broke the link between the dollar and gold, setting shock waves throughout the world economy and upending America's most important political and military alliances. They will explain why this decision was perhaps the biggest one ever made in the international monetary system since the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944, how it led to floating exchange rates, to more financial engineering, more intense globalization, and even to the emerging world of crypto and digital currencies. And they will examine the challenges to the dollar today, from China, from new forms of currency, from new kinds of protectionism, and from dysfunctional elements of our political system and institutions. Jeffrey Garten is the former dean of the Yale School of Management, undersecretary of commerce for international trade, and managing director of the Blackstone Group. He now teaches courses at Yale on the global economy, international crisis management, and US foreign economic policy.

In the period immediately following WWII, the United States dominated the global economy. We had won the war, and the economic status that went along with it. Then over time, and initially as a result of our efforts and generosity, other economies began to grow. Japan, West Germany, Canada and Australia would stir, but the world would, in the war's aftermath, acquiesce to an American imposed system of monetary order. One underpinned by gold and the US direction. But 28 years later the children would grow up. The other economies of the world would come into their full inheritance. So much so that by the time of the Nixon administration, in 1971, it had to accommodate the change. What happened next, as Nixon and his economic advisers would meet secretly at camp David, in August of 1971, set the stage for the modern era of globalization. The gold standard would be abandoned, and a new world economic order would be born. I think it's fair to say that it's impossible to understand the global economy today without understand this singular moment Jeffrey Garten, the Dean emeritus of the Yale School of Management, takes us back to this moment in his new work Three Days at Camp David: How a Secret Meeting in 1971 Transformed the Global Economy My conversation with Jeffrey Garten:
Today we're continuing the conversation about the White House budget and recapping the House Intelligence Committee's Russia hearing. But first, we're chatting with a very special guest - Dr.Jeffrey Garten - in advance of his appearance at the Slover Library on March 30.

In 2016 the Chicago Council Survey of public opinion recorded its highest levels of support for globalization. Yet anti-globalist sentiments have often set the tone during the presidential election campaign. Candidates of all stripes have accused free trade of eliminating jobs and depressing wages, while immigrants and international organizations have come under frequent fire. Internationally too, the Brexit vote was a landmark rejection of economic and political integration by UK voters. Jeffrey E. Garten, author and dean emeritus, Yale School of Management, speaks with Edward Luce, Washington commentator, Financial Times, about the global challenges facing the next administration.

Globalization has been one of the most influential economic forces of the last century. The Internet has connected the world in ways that would have been unfathomable just a few years ago, China and other emerging nations’ economic fluctuations have impacted international markets, and terrorism has caused the biggest refugee flows in decades. It is no secret that many issues related to globalization such as trade, immigration, and climate change were at the forefront of the recent US elections. What policy decisions related to globalization will our new president face when he enters office next year? What immediate actions should the next administration take? Jeffrey Garten, who served in the Nixon, Ford, Carter and Clinton administrations and is also dean emeritus at the Yale School of Management, will share his views. Through the riveting stories of ten extraordinary visionaries, Jeffrey Garten's new book, "From Silk to Silicon: The Story of Globalization Through Ten Extraordinary Lives" explores how globalization has changed world history and continues to shape our lives. Speaker Jeffrey E. Garten is Dean Emeritus of Yale School of Management, and Author of "From Silk to Silicon: The Story of Globalization Through Ten Extraordinary Lives". The conversation is moderated by Jane Wales, CEO, World Affairs and Global Philanthropy Forum; Vice President, The Aspen Institute.

Jeffrey Garten of Yale School of Management discusses how Genghis Khan, Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Margaret Thatcher, and others made the world more integrated. Garten is the author of "From Silk to Silicon: The Story of Globalization through Ten Extraordinary Lives".
Today, globalization faces a crisis of its own success. The international movement of goods, money, communications and ideas has been going on since even before the 12th Century. However, today the context of that globalization has changed. Where once driven individuals could change the world, today the very complexity of the world that globalization has created means that it can no longer exist in an economic vacuum, free from the drag of domestic and geopolitics. But to fully understand what we might need to do, we have to understand how we got here. That’s the story that Jeffrey Garten tells in his new book From Silk to Silicon: The Story of Globalization Through Ten Extraordinary Lives. Garten looks at ten people who have single handedly changed the world during the last 800 years. It’s a kind of biography of globalization. My conversation with Jeffrey Garten:
