Steve Roach will speak on China: Trade War to Cold War. He is a senior fellow at Yale’s Jackson Institute of Global Affairs and a senior lecturer at Yale’s School of Management. He formerly was chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia and the firm’s chief economist for the bulk of his 30-year career at Morgan Stanley, heading up a highly regarded team of economists around the world and currently focusing on the impact of Asia on the broader global economy. He has introduced courses on “The Next China” and “The Lessons of Japan.” His writing and research address globalization, trade policy, the post-crisis policy architecture and the capital markets implications of global imbalances. Steve has long been one of Wall Street’s most influential economists, and his opinions on the global economy have been known to shape the policy debate from Beijing to Washington, D.C. His new book, Unbalanced: The Codependency of America and China, examines the risks and opportunities of what is likely to be the world’s most important economic relationship of the 21st century. Steve served on the research staff of the Federal Reserve Board and also was a research fellow at the Brookings Institution. He holds a Ph.D. in economics from New York University. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Investment Committee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the China Advisory Board of the Environmental Defense Fund and the Economics Advisory Board of the University of Wisconsin.
