Geopolitics and business: can the state remake capitalism or only undermine it?

Geopolitics and business: can the state remake capitalism or only undermine it?

Around the world, companies and states are trying to work out how to navigate the relationship between government and the private sector as tension between security and economic interests increases and markets and supply chains fragment. This Ditchley conference, held in partnership with American Ditchley at the Greentree Estate on Long Island, New York, 24 to 26 April, will contrast and compare the approaches of the Trump Administration, the EU, and China on state intervention in markets and explore the implications and decision points for major companies, for governments, and for the global economy and financial system. We will assemble a mix of business leaders, policy makers and relevant experts from the US, Europe, Japan and beyond. The goal will be to find areas of emerging consensus on how a new relationship between governments and business might be forged but also to troubleshoot growing conflicts.
