    Higher Interest Rates Are Here to Stay

    Kenneth Rogoff

    The long-standing economic consensus that interest rates would remain low indefinitely, making debt cost-free, is no longer tenable. Even if inflation declines, soaring debt levels, deglobalization, and populist pressures will keep rates higher for the next decade than they were in the decade following the 2008 financial crisis.

     thinks that policymakers and economists must reassess their beliefs in light of current market realities.

    Western Firms Should Leave China Now

    Simon Johnson, et al.

    Since the 1990s, Western companies have invested a fortune in the Chinese economy, and tens of thousands of Chinese students have studied in US and European universities or worked in Western companies. None of this made China more democratic, and now it is heading toward an economic showdown with the US.

     argue that the strategy of economic engagement has failed to mitigate the Chinese regime’s behavior.
