Topic Description: Under President Biden\, the U.S. has advanced new ideas about trade\, technology \, industrial policy\, competition with China\, and the organization of th e world economy. For most of the postwar era\, the U.S. has tied its globa l leadership to cooperative agendas aimed at creating a more open-world tr ading system\, but that has apparently come to an end. What are America&rs quo\;s options and opportunities as a leader of the world economy? How wil l America&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;foreign policy for the middle class&rdquo\; and strategic competition with China impact its leadership role? How can the postwar rules and institutions of the world economy be made safe for econo mic nationalism and great power competition?
