Can the Open World Economy Be Saved?

Free trade and international investment have been engines of global growth and prosperity since the end of World War II. How long they will continue to be, however, is an open question. Senior international trade, economy, and finance officials from nations with major markets will discuss whether the world is at the brink of trade war or if ever-freer trade is a paradigm that can—and should—continue.
