Master Class with Paul Krugman and Mauro Guillen: Our World in 2030

Paul Krugman, Nobel Laureate, New York Times Op-Ed Columnist and Distinguished Professor at CUNY Graduate Center will be in conversation with Wharton’s most original thinker and one of the world’s foremost experts on global trends Mauro Guillen on his new book: 2030: How Today’s Biggest Trends will Collide and Reshape the Future of Everything.

Will Africa live up to its potential as a driver of innovation? Women will control more of the money supply but what effect will that have on political power? Post pandemic, how much more power will big tech companies wield? Perhaps the biggest question of all: how long will it take to overcome the economic depression of 2020? The two will debate what the world will look like well after the Coronavirus pandemic, and how we can prepare for this transformational change that is underway regarding the way we live, work and play for generations to come.
